What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? I'm passionate about preventing hospitalizations and sickness by keeping patients well. In your opinion, what should be the role of a primary care provider for a patient, taking into account both physical health and behavioral health needs? I believe patients deserve not to be rushed through appointments and have all their questions answered. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? In my spare time, I love baking cookies, cakes, casseroles, pies, and bread. I think that we can have room for fun foods in our diet as long as we eat healthy 99.9% of the time. I enjoy powerlifting-style workouts but I don't currently compete. I love vegetable gardening and any outdoor fitness activity.

Access and personal connection. The three providers I interacted with seem to have gone out of their way to make things easy for me. It was a seamless experience from assessment/consultation, labs, and medications; it all just worked. As an NP I now know I want to work for an organization like Circle.

As someone who has ADHD, simply setting up an account on the site was so easy. You can tell that this was made with neurodivergent people in mind. Things are just SIMPLE.

Edwin

More thorough than any in-person doctor visit I've ever been to.

Nicole

The provider made appointments comfortable to talk and discuss my problems. It is easy to schedule and have access to messaging. Very affordable compared to other facilities I have looked into.

Honestly my provider has been vastly more concerned about my needs than any doctor I've been to before, and I don't even have to leave my house! This has been an absolutely amazing medical experience.

Eli

Circle Medical has been an incredibly smooth and convenient way to receive medical care. The providers have been incredibly understanding and supportive, have been helpful in helping me find solutions to problems, and go the extra mile to ensure I’ve received quality care. All of this comes with the convenience of being wherever I have an internet connection from the comfort of home. I would highly recommend to anyone.

Jacki

They really understood and quickly diagnosed me and got me the treatment I needed, thanks guys!

Eliza

No matter where I live or move to with my job, I can see my provider on Circle. I’ve been using Circle for over a year and absolutely love them.

Remi

Appointment availability. I cannot get an in-person appointment in my city for 6 weeks. This app allowed me to connect with a medical professional the next day. (Same-day was available as well.) And professionalism. I felt that in my two appointments I was treated with respect, not judged, and I was able to express my issues and thoughts to someone who was actually listening.

Craig

My provider is attentive and listens to my needs. She addresses any issues I have. She is never late to our meetings.

Britney

Very convenient, medical professionals are understanding and helpful in providing solutions

Luke

Circle Medical is a one stop shop for all my medical needs. No more waiting in a doctor's office for me!!

Ethan

My provider is very friendly and really understands my needs. She asks a lot of questions to get to understand what your needs are.

Stephen

So easy to create an account from scratch, find an appointment (within 24 hours on a holiday weekend), and speak to a terrific professional who answered my questions

Laci

My provider is so thoughtful in her questions and thoroughly listens and takes the time to come up with a plan that works for ME. There is no one-size-fits-all, and as a mother of five as well as a small business owner, this rings especially true. With Circle Medical you can expect them to take their time (but not too much! Convenience is key in 2022!) and tailor an individual plan suited perfectly for you. You can expect them to care about you as a person and not a number. I am so thankful I found Circle Medical but especially during these busy times.

Sasha

The provider I spoke with was very knowledgeable and listened to me. She explained things well and made me comfortable.

Carolina

I’ve used several online platforms for various medical needs over the last few years, and Circle has been the most comprehensive, as well as pairing me with an excellent provider who actually listens to my issues and concerns as well as taking into consideration what I think would work for me, and not just putting me on random medications to see what may or may not work. I felt listened to and respected, and believe my provider actually wants to help instead of just getting paid and speeding through our appointment.

Denisse

Super convenient. Compassionate, amazing practitioner who takes a holistic approach to my care.

Arianna

Very convenient, easy to get an appointment, provider visits have been very efficient and professional. I felt like the provider listened to my concerns and gave me the care I needed.

Ricky

The app is easy to use, appointment scheduling is convenient, there are lots of providers to choose from, and the providers are supportive, explain things well, and are non-judgemental.

Sabrina

Easy to get appointments, provider is kind, very helpful and is committed to helping me. This app was there when my doctors ignored me for YEARS.

Ashley

Circle Medical is a game changer for me and my health care. Phenomenal service.

Haley

I felt heard. I felt educated by the provider. There’s so much stigma and such a shortage of psychiatrists. I felt alone and judged, but Circle was different.

Princess

My provider is great and I feel like she really cares about my well-being as a person. She listens to any concerns I have and takes me seriously.

Priscilla

Circle Medical has been a life saver! The ability to use insurance is key, as well as the availability and variety of providers. I found an AMAZING primary provider that is hands-down the best I've ever had. Plus, the convenience of video visits is fantastic!! I love Circle Medical!
