Tell us what makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider. I love being a public servant that can aid in helping others maintain their physical and mental 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? The primary provider should be the gatekeeper for their patient. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I love to spend time with family in my spare time.

Circle Medical is easy to use and accepts a lot of insurances. I felt like my provider cared about me and we have begun to form a relationship.
