Kash
A friend told me about it. I was extremely hesitant. Was I ever surprised. The process was easy. The provider was wonderful and made me feel very comfortable about my decision
Alexus
Circle has been great for a busy, young, always-moving-around individual like myself and many other young professionals. Finding a primary care provider in a new city has always been a needlessly difficult task.
Devan
Circle Medical has helped me find a provider that I am comfortable with and otherwise wouldn't be able to have as a primary care provider due to where I live. It also has helped me get help with my ADHD whereas I wouldn't be able to as easily with where I live.
Asher
My practitioner is amazing and has helped me so much. She is compassionate and truly cares about her patients.
Dallas
The best experience ever, I live in a small town where I know my providers personally and sometimes it’s hard to admit where you struggle. It was so nice to have someone that I could talk to in private and that listened and was so thorough and helpful in every way. Very easy experience and I wish I would have done it sooner! Great company!

Hana
My experience with Circle Medical has been fantastic! I’ve had multiple referrals that just lead me back to the beginning, and with Circle I was able to circumvent those, experiencing speedy and professional treatmet. I owe my quality of life to Circle.

Awesome service, many appointment times available, caring and thorough medical care. Perfect for people with busy schedules.

Very professional service, extremely convenient and has greatly improved my life. Saves me very intimidating visits to regular doctors that don’t take into consideration modern day issues or considerations. I feel taken care of but also understood.

Kanesha
Circle Medical is the future of primary care! I have had great experiences with all of the providers I have seen, and I appreciate the convenience of attending appointments with the app. It is confidence-inspiring to be able to talk about sensitive medical issues from home or anywhere else. Love the speed and ease of booking appointments.
Jordon
Everything about using Circle Medical has been great! My provider is amazing and always happy to help with any questions or concerns I have. The administration staff is also very helpful and answers my questions very quickly if I have an issue with my pharmacy, etc. I have recommended Circle to several friends and would gladly recommend them to anyone.
Kylie
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 good experience so far. My provider has been very wonderful -- very attentive and easy to talk to.
Joshua
I love my provider and the app. This all made it really easy to take care of myself and my body again. I also love that every provider is LGBTQ affirming and it makes a big difference.

User friendly app and straight forward process. Both providers I've seen are caring and want the best for you!!!
Frank
Excellent providers that truly care about their patients and listen to their concerns. Telehealth appointments are seamless.
Ashley
It’s so easy to use and I’m able to schedule same day virtual appointments. The provider I see is very thorough, extremely knowledgeable and always kind and considerate. I’ve been able to communicate easily through the chat and always get a response within a few hours. The best part is my insurance is accepted so there is very little out of pocket for me. 10/10 would definitely recommend to anyone!
Aracely
Circle Medical has been an incredibly smooth and convenient way to receive medical care. The providers have been incredibly understanding and supportive, have been helpful in helping me find solutions to problems, and go the extra mile to ensure I’ve received quality care. All of this comes with the convenience of being wherever I have an internet connection from the comfort of home. I would highly recommend to anyone.
Mekhi
The entire process is fast and easy. My provider is competent, reliable, caring, and friendly. Billing and service team are always highly responsive and helpful. Perfect.
Pierce
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!
Sonny
Circle has been great! They are cost-effective, efficient and get me the care I need with a busy schedule!
Brittany
I felt like someone was finally listening and validating me. Other doctors treated me like I was seeking drugs and I couldn’t possibly have the problems or that they aren’t that bad and it’s my fault. Thank you so much for listening and asking me question and letting me answer.
Dominique
Easy to schedule appointments, the chat is super responsive, and everyone I’ve talked to is friendly and helpful.
Pando
It is so convenient to be able to get medical care from home via the telehealth system. I really appreciate the availability of providers and seamless integration of care within the app. My first appointments with my provider were also really pleasant, she was thoughtful and listened and it didn't have the same rushed and sterile feel that so often you get in a standard medical office environment. So far I am very happy and have already recommended it to friends.
Bradyn
The staff and the providers have been very pleasant and extremely helpful in every situation! I will recommend Circle Medical to everyone I know in need of this kind of service!

Anxiety / Depression Treatment
Yes, our Circle Medical providers are able to provide a comprehensive assessment and diagnosis of mild to moderate anxiety or depression.
If you are diagnosed by one of our providers, we are able to provide ongoing healthcare in the form of regular check-ins, assessments, therapy referrals, and evidence-based prescription management if appropriate.
Please note that booking and paying for a video appointment with one of our Circle Medical providers does not guarantee a diagnosis, or a specific medication.
A full medical assessment takes into account the patient’s full health summary, evidence-based diagnostic tools, and other safety factors. Treatment is up to the provider's discretion. We encourage you to read through this entire FAQ for additional details.
Our goal, as a primary care practice, is to make mental health more accessible and integrated with primary care. However, primary care has its limitations and this means that there may be instances where it is recommended that you see a specialist, or psychiatrist, for your care.
Circle Medical is a primary care practice, which means that we are not able to treat more complex mental health conditions/medication, such as:
• History of psychosis, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, and bipolar disorder
• You are currently taking, or seeking a prescription for, Benzodiazepines, opiate pain medication, or controlled substance sleep aids
To find out more about Circle Medical’s scope of care for mental health, you can read more in this article: Mental Health and Care Eligibility.
To see a list of states, please start booking an appointment. You will be able to select from all of the lists where we are currently practicing.
You must be currently residing in the state of treatment as well as have your primary pharmacy be in that same state in order to be a patient at our practice.
Providers
Our providers are board-certified providers (MD’s/DO’s/NP’s/PA’s) who are able to provide a full scope of primary care services, including mental health, at Circle Medical. We do not have psychiatrists on our platform, however, our Circle Medical providers are able to provide a wide range of mental health care services in a primary care setting to provide access to life-changing care to our patients.
More complex mental health cases may require a psychiatrist to diagnose/treat. We encourage you to please read through this entire FAQ section for additional information.
You do not need to book your initial appointment with a doctor. You can book your appointment with any provider that we have available. Our providers all work closely together to make sure that we are providing the same excellent standard of care to all patients regardless of which provider you book your appointment with.
The first intake appointment is 30 minutes. Follow-up appointments are 20 minutes each.
Billing
Insured
$5 - $50 average copay* per appointment
*Note: Your specific copay is dependent on your health insurance coverage. We typically see patients with copays of around $0-$50 per appointment, but this can be higher if you have a high-deductible plan and have not yet hit your deductible this year. To confirm your specific copay estimate, you can click to book an appointment and you will be asked to input your insurance information so that you can receive your cost estimate before confirming the appointment.
Our ability to estimate your costs is dependent on your healthcare insurance's database, so we do not guarantee that the estimate you see is the exact amount you will be billed. For the most accurate estimate of your per-appointment costs, we recommend calling the phone number on the back of your insurance card to ask your insurance plan what your primary care appointment costs are.
Uninsured
$100 per appointment
Insurance
For non-therapy appointments:
We contract with most PPO insurance plans. If you are a California Bay Area resident, we also work with a small number of HMO plans.
To verify if we work with your insurance, simply start booking an appointment online. You will be prompted to enter your insurance details and will receive eligibility results instantly as well as an estimate of your appointment cost prior to confirming your appointment.
Some PPO plans that we currently work with are:
Anthem Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Aetna, Blue Shield of California, Cigna, Health Net, Humana, and United Healthcare.
Plans that we cannot work with are:
Unfortunately, we are unable to provide care for patients who have Medi-Cal or Medicaid insurance. This is because we are not licensed Medi-Cal or Medicaid providers, so we are not able to provide care, even if these patients choose to pay cash instead of use their insurance. If you have Medi-Cal or Medicaid, please do not book an appointment with us, as we will be unable to provide care even if you do not enter your insurance information.

How to Prepare for Your First Appointment
If you've been diagnosed with anxiety and/or depression before and have your diagnosis paperwork available, you can email it to [email protected]. Be sure to use the same email address that you used to sign up when booking your appointment.
Note: This step is optional. After your first visit, we will facilitate getting your medical records from your previous provider.
After your assessment is complete, if you are started on medication management, we will coordinate sending the prescription to your preferred pharmacy.
Circle Medical providers are able to prescribe many different evidence-based treatment options to manage the symptoms of anxiety and depression, including SSRIs.
Common SSRIs include Sertraline (Zoloft), Fluoxetine (Prozac), Escitalopram (Lexapro), Paroxetine (Paxil), and Citalopram (Celexa).Circle Medical providers do NOT prescribe chronic daily Benzodiazepines. Intermittent, as needed, Benzodiazepines like Lorazepam (Ativan) or Clonazepam (Klonopin) are up to the Circle Medical providers discretion and only prescribed if appropriate and in accordance with Circle Medicals policies.
You may have a 2-week follow-up if you are on a new dosage or treatment plan. Once your treatment plan is stable, you may have 1 month follow ups with your provider to monitor treatment.
If you have questions, please feel free to chat with your Circle Medical care team via our secure app.
It can take 1-2 appointments for a complete anxiety and/or depression assessment to take place and for a possible diagnosis to be made.
Your provider will prepare a personalized plan for you after each visit including a diagnosis, recommendation, prescriptions and resources for additional reading.
