Board Certified, Family Medicine, 13 years of experience
What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? I love being a medical provider! I relish the challenge of determining how to help patients feel better, and love the relationships that come from that. My experience in Emergency Medicine and Primary care give me insight in how to keep my clinic patients out of the ER, while recognizing more emergent issues that require aggressive management. 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? My goal is to be the first resource for patients regarding their physical and behavioral health needs. I love managing my patients' acute and chronic issues, but I am confident in identifying when patients need a specialist to help them feel better. I see myself as the quarterback in a patient's healthcare team; I help integrate input from other specialists. Then I use my relationship with and knowledge of my patient to help them utilize specific recommendations. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I have been married for 22 years, and love that my husband still makes me laugh every day. We have two teenagers who keep us on our toes, and a beloved dog, Jonah. I love to be outside, working in my gardens or hiking with my dog, and I am an amazing cook.

I work in concrete finishing, & have very little time during my week. Circle makes it possible for me to still be able to see a provider. Absolutely ESSENTIAL service!!

Connor

I have felt heard, believed and taken care of by my provider. I am so happy with telehealth and having access to a wonderful provider through Circle Medical.

Giuliana

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

Mina

My provider is great. To be honest, for me it started out with wanting to privately get my ADD addressed. But now it is so much more. She seems genuinely concerned about my health and asks questions that help me address and focus on issues as needed. Highly recommend.

Matthew

Great service. Professional providers. Never had an issue with billing or scheduling. Communication through the app has improved and availability has increased significantly. I’m seeing a massive improvement in my well-being and daily life thanks to their services and I couldn’t be more grateful. Thanks Circle Medical!

Dennis

Loooove my provider, she's so easy to talk to and it feels like she really cares and wants to help improve my life.

Very easy to schedule appointments, communication and doctors notes are the best I’ve ever experienced. My provider is very easy to talk to and always reminds me he’s just a message away in case I ever need him.

Joshua

Circle Medical has filled the access gap to consistent medical care and taken the frustration out of getting appointments and prescriptions. Your service is second to none.

Elaina

Employees are easy to follow along in conversations. This site helped me understand myself better. It was easy to get treated without anxiety or feeling overwhelmed from in person contact getting in the way.

Valerie

Mr provider is great. I feel he is thorough and cares about my well being. I also like that it's affordable even without insurance.

Amiah

Very convenient for someone who has works contract jobs, and has to live in different places throughout the year.

Karlie

I recommend Circle Medical to everyone. Before it would take 6 months to make an appointment, then I'd have to take a day off work, it would take 4 hours to go through and see the doc. Between driving there, checking in, waiting in the big waiting room, then the small waiting room, seeing the MA then finally the doc, it would be a huge day-eating event. Circle Medical makes it so easy! I don't need to take a day off work, no waiting in waiting rooms, same day appointments, you can't beat it!

Rodolfo

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

Arianna

I recommend Circle Medical because there’s no other app that actually just goes straight to the point in helping your needs; that being needing ADHD diagnosis or anything else that has to do with with your physical and mental health. There are no complications with speaking with the Circle Medical Team let alone any problems period.

Roxane

It's easy to book an appointment, the physicians are nice and the customer service is great.

Ezra

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.

Stacy

Very easy process, my provider was thorough and understanding and efficient. Already recommended to my sister.

Jase

Provider very punctual, efficient, and informative. Easy to use. Helpful for my needs.

Jodi

My provider! I have felt heard, believed and taken care of by her. I am so happy to telehealth and having access to a wonderful provider through Circle Medical.

Mithra

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.

Levi

This system, the efficiency, and care behind it is the best that I have come across. I have been uncomfortable addressing issues like ADD and ADHD as an adult, so I put this off for years. My provider has already helped in 2 sessions. I have to say, I am already feeling better simply taking the initial steps. A big thanks to this team!

Shane

With Circle Medical I don’t have to wait 3 hours to see my primary care physician, I can reschedule my appointment if necessary and their support team is always helpful and polite.

Tyrone

It’s very convenient and flexible. The providers are very compassionate and foster an open environment that allows patients to take control of their health and well-being.

Jose

Great selection of providers. They are kind and knowledgeable. Easy process - insurance accepted! Did my check in while at work, doesn’t get better than that!

Dayna

Ease of use. The technology piece makes getting help that would be very time consuming and expensive more achievable.

Matthew

The Circle Medical team is responsive, thorough, kind, helpful and respectful, and listens to your needs.

Frankie

Circle Medical has finally given me access to the kind of care that not only works best for me, but also cares about me.
