Renee Aulisi, FNP-C
Board Certified, Family Medicine, 13 years of experience
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? The primary care provider role should encompass the needs of the individual on a wholistic basis. Caring for someone's emotional/behavioral needs is just as important as their physical health as each of these can affect the other. The primary care provider should act as an advocate for their patient and by caring for them in the physical and behavioral aspect of medicine does just that. What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? I have been in healthcare since 2008 and every patient interaction has been rewarding in its own unique way. Taking it to the next level and providing primary care has been fulfilling because I know my patients are well cared for and trust me with their life, health and wellness. I have continued to provide treatment for chronic and acute illness, as well as ADHD and birth control counseling. I also provide treatment and preventive counseling for STDs and PrEP in a discrete and professional manner. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I very much enjoy traveling and experiencing new cultures (mainly through food!). I enjoy being outdoors, participating in various activities such as bike riding, hiking and running. I participated in my first Walt Disney World half marathon in 2019 and am getting back into the race world and am always open to suggestion of where to run next! I also enjoy visiting my friends and family that live in different places throughout the country.

My provider is awesome. She is always on time and prepared for my appointments. She is patient, listens to my concerns, and provides excellent care. The app is super easy to use and helps me keep track of my appointments and medical history. Definitely recommend!

Harley

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 first interaction with my provider was a positive experience. He listened to my story and we had many things in common. I love having a provider that is also diagnosed with ADHD. This way we can treat my condition properly on a common ground approach. Thank you for being there for me!

Ben

I have already recommended it to many people. I’m a college student and my university health center has several barriers that make it almost impossible for anyone to afford the services required to get ADHD treatment through them, even with insurance. Circle Medical is convenient and being an app with reminders that I can call from anywhere makes it helpful to remember and make appointments.

Kyle

Process is seamless. Team is professional. It could not be easier to work with them.

Harriet

My provider is very attentive, and very clear about treatment and recommendations. Everybody is so helpful. When you send messages they respond quickly.

Mina

I love having a primary care provider to work with me on getting the correct medication needed to function. I love the convenience of the telehealth appointments as well.

Tiffani

The best, most easy experience I’ve ever had! My provider has been tremendously knowledgeable and helpful.

Malia

My provider was very kind and helpful. She listened to my needs and helped to appropriately diagnose me. I feel very confident in her as a provider.

Souvya

I feel like even though it’s virtual that my clinician connected with me. She is very knowledgeable and asks many questions to make sure the medicine I am taking is appropriate for me. I met another provider there when my chosen one wasn’t available and she made me feel the same way. I can trust both of these clinicians.

Shamar

I always so feel so comfortable and heard with my providers. Chat support is amazing, and the app is so easy to navigate. Not one thing is hard to deal with.

Summer

I've had nothing but the best experience with Circle Medical. All my needs have been met and it's VERY flexible.

I’ve worked with other medical providers and hands down this is the best outlet for someone who needs real help in all facets of their life.
