Tell us what makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider. I am very passionate about providing comprehensive care for my patients, ensuring to address their physical health, mental health and evaluate lifestyle choices to help guide patients to reach their healthcare goals. I thoroughly enjoy and feel honored to work with my patients to help them reach their fullest potential. I also love watching patients grow and become empowered to take control of 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? I believe the role of a primary care provider is to approach the patient as a whole and ensure they feel understood and heard. This can be a vulnerable time for patients and it's important to meet patients where they are at with kindness and empathy. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? Outside of work, I love to get outside and be active. Name an activity and I am there. I love hiking, tennis, and yoga. I also enjoy the mountains and go snowboarding whenever I can in the winter. Reading and podcasts are also things I enjoy. I love to learn.

Santino

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.

Rolando

Helpful, kind, understanding staff and medical professionals who take time to hear you! Thank you all. It’s been a game changer for me!

Felix

Circle Medical ADHD treatment has changed my life for the better in so many ways. I love the ease of not having to go to a Doctors office. I travel for work and my travels are sporadic so being able to take a video/zoom appointment wherever I am at is paramount. I never need to worry about when my appointment is as long as I have cell service. It's just incredible. Plus I ABSOLUTELY love my provider. He is just awesome. I could go on and on about him.

Isabella

Wonderful medical treatment who take their time to listen and provide feedback This makes it so easy for a full time working single parent or mother like myself with all that I have to do. This makes life a little easier not having to drive to the doctor every time I need a medication refill.

Joannie

So much easier than dealing with my antiquated primary care office! I used to have to wait on hold for at least ten minutes to make an appointment.

The app is easy to navigate and book appointments. Also being able to reschedule is great for someone like myself who works on call and has a difficult time keeping appointments.

Joy

I love my doctor, she is so helpful, listens to me and we both come to an agreement which is incredible. I have found in my own experience and hearing others that so many doctors don't work with their patients and my doctor does. The app is also super easy to use and every time I have had a problem I get an answer right away. Thank you!

Awesome doctors. They take time to actually listen to your symptoms and things you’re dealing with instead of pushing certain medications.

Amazing staff who are looking to do everything they can to help you with any problem you may have.

I get to decide my provider. Tons of appointments that are days away instead of weeks. Well-designed app. Medical/appointment notes are all in one location instead of spread around or buried in menus. Everything got done without any bumps or pushback or bs. I've never *ever* had such a painless experience.
