Patricia Templeton, PA-C
Board Certified, Family Medicine, 8 years of experience
What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? I choose to be a primary care provider because I feel it is the best way for me to help people. I am passionate about providing education to help my patient’s better understand their health. 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? A primary care provider’s role is to be there for their patient’s physical and behavioral health needs. Both when they are sick, to provide acute care and when they are healthy, keeping them up to date on preventative measures. When treatment is necessary, it is a primary care provider’s role to help their patients understand the options and choose the treatment plan that fits them best. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I recently moved to the DC area. In my spare time I like to hangout with my family and friends, garden, play board games and make art. My most recent art project is trying stained glass.

I have been using Circle for half a year and never had an issue. Questions were answered within the time given. My provider has been there for me 1000%. Never late!! Pleasant and caring always asked how she can HELP!! I have only good things to say. You're wasting your own time, employer's time, gas and cash going to a doctor's office.

The turnaround time to get an appointment and see a provider was so quick and easy; everything is setup with the neurodivergent brain in mind from the way the app is designed to appointment reminders and calendar syncing. My provider made me feel heard and she kept our appointment focused on the task at hand (so important for adhd minds!).

Convenient & and efficient system. Services like this benefit patients and the country. This will save Americans from millions of hours of waiting in clinic lobbies, reduce emissions, reduce fuel consumption, reduce traffic, and drive efficiency in medical records and billing. All these things have a multiplier effect.

The process has been so easy and every care team rep I have encountered has been kind and courteous no matter how silly my question.

Very comfortable atmosphere, didn’t feel rushed. Was very impressed with the report after each visit. I have had several bad experiences prior to trying Circle, and honestly probably would have given up. Very happy so far.

It’s so convenient as a mom of two to do appointment from home. I even suggested it to my brother who hasn’t gone to the doctor in 10 years and now he’s getting seen!

Brynn

My provider is amazing! He listens well to my concerns and thoroughly explains all treatment options. Circle makes it easy to schedule and communicate via chat.
