Board Certified, Family Medicine, 2 years of experience
What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? My passion for healthcare comes from knowing that I am able to provide compassionate care to a diverse community and people from all walks of life. This in turns allows me to build a rapport with my patients to give them the confidence to take control of those health and mental well being. 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? As a primary care provider my role is to provide quality care to prevent disease process not only physically but as well as behavioral health. My goal is to prevent diseases through lifestyle management in order to manage chronic and acute conditions. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I graduated with my nursing degree from Loyola University of Chicago. Post graduation - I worked at Northwestern Memorial Hospital and soon after as a supplemental nurse at the University of Chicago Medical Center. After working for five years as nurse - I went back to school for my masters in Family Medicine. As a Nurse practitioner I worked in the city f Chicago serving the population with acute and chronic health conditions.

At-home appointments, wonderful providers and customer service when I need to speak with my provider. Can’t recommend enough especially for a busy, full time working mom of 3!

Neveah

I like my provider, it’s easy and hassle free, and I feel like I’m getting the help I needed. Plus, I tried to schedule stuff the traditional way and they only got back to me a week later. This is way faster.

Brian

I really appreciate the personalized care. I live in a rural area where healthcare is hard to come by.

Baron

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

I have really loved using Circle Medical. I use Circle for both ADHD treatment and as my primary care provider. I’ve had an easy time with making appointments, seeing my doctors, and I receive amazing care. I work long hours and it’s difficult for me to visit typical doctor’s offices, so it’s nice to have a well rounded online clinic. I also feel that Circle Medical has a great background and it feels more secure knowing that they are tied to a large hospital with a great track record.

I referred a friend just yesterday. The reason why is I went through 5 other similar companies before I found this one that checks every box plus extra credit.

It was accessible, period. I could get an appointment that was not months out like most local doctors. Gave me records that documented my history. Made it possible to receive care online/virtually.

My provider has made all the difference. She honestly and genuinely goes out of her way to help me. As a person with serious ADHD all my life I found someone who makes the difference In how I feel.
