Vanesa Cheng, FNP-C
Board Certified, Family Medicine , 8 years of experience
What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? I am very passionate about giving the best care for my patients and treating them like they are my family. As a healthcare provider, there are plenty of things I can assist my patients with that I was unable to do before as a registered nurse such as (to name a few) diagnosing, treating, and, most importantly for me, providing preventative care. This was a real game changer for me when I started working as a healthcare provider 8 years ago. 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 strongly believe that it is my role as the primary care provider to listen to the patients' needs and not just focusing on what I think they need. Although it is important that I treat my patients based on my medical knowledge, it is also crucial to be sensitive to patients' complaints or requests and cater it towards the best treatment goals for them. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? When I am not working, I am homeschooling my two little ones. My husband is also a telemedicine Nurse Practitioner so our family is always together at home. I enjoy movie nights, playing at the park with my kids, HIIT exercises, and traveling with my family.

Circle Medical helped me get diagnosed for ADHD. It absolutely changed my life for the better. I’ve already recommended it to multiple people. Access to affordable care like this is amazing and I want everyone to benefit from it.

My provider is the best! And Circle Medical is very convenient. I was neglecting my health before I knew about Circle because I never felt like going to the doctors, but Circle has changed my life!

It was amazingly fast to get an appointment compared to the wait times in my area for a mental health professional. The provider I am seeing is very personable and I feel like she understands me and always gives me opportunities for questions. I have never felt judged. I have used the chat support and received a response much faster than most doctors offices.

it was faster to get an online visit than an in-person visit where I live. I got my prescription faster than if I had to wait a month for a visit in person!

I am very happy with their service, especially after bad experiences with other companies. My provider is very helpful, attentive and genuinely seems to care. Medicine orders are quick and they do what they promise.

Seymour

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.

Tripp

I absolutely love my provider. She spends quality time listening to me. It’s rare these days that a doctor is willing to SEE you, and I don’t mean see you as in pop in for an appointment and push you out the door. She is an active listener and sees that I want to change my life. She’s helping me do that!

Lana

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

Circle makes treatment accessible. In my area, providers are either not available at all or only available many months down the road. The service providers are very pleasant. Versus other options, where the service providers were rude and impatient, Circle actually has available appointments.
