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 role is to keep you as healthy as possible through preventative care, and to be there for you whenever you are not feeling your best. I am here to listen and work with you to come up with solutions together to give you the highest quality of life possible. What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? Every person and story is unique, and I love to listen and play detective to solve any problems that may be ongoing. It truly makes my day when I can help someone get better and that makes every day worth it! Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I am a crazy cat lady-sorry dog people! I love to hang out with my animals, go hiking, and fishing. I also love to bake-I make a mean chocolate chip cookie!

Micaela

This is a marvelous service, it has significantly helped me with my medical needs and my new PCP is amazing!

Annabella

MY PROVIDER has been great - her support and medical guidance have done for me what no other provider has done up to this point in my life. She's listened to my concerns and helped me understand what my brain is doing - and without stigma, judgment, or gaslighting. I'm getting the care I need and feel like my voice, lived experience, and opinion matter. The app is easy to use, the virtual appointments are easy to join, and the ability to meet virtually has greatly benefited me (given my crazy work schedule). Telehealth and virtual care have changed my life in the best ways.

Zayne

Loved my visit and the fact I could make an appointment within a reasonable timeframe was amazing. Also not wasting time driving and waiting was a huge plus.

My provider at Circle Medical had to take time off for surgery. The transition to a new provider was flawless. I was apprecative of this as I needed a refill of my Rx. This organization of medical professionals continues to impress me.

Circle Medical team members care about their patients, provide outstanding services, and deliver services timely and efficiently.

Circle Medicine gave me access to care that if I had not been able to access through telemedicine I most likely would not have gotten it. Not to mention the ease of use, which is an absolute 10. Technology at its finest.

The help I've received has been absolutely fantastic. The person who did my testing was friendly, polite, and obviously very talented. Made me feel safe to be able to open up and talk about my issues, and left me feeling very validated and heard.

Peyton

I have had nothing but good experiences with my provider. She is very knowledgeable, caring, and non-judgmental.

Adeline

I’m very likely to recommend Circle Medical because of the progress that I have made. My provider has made it possible for me to accept and understand my ADHD with the upmost positivity and total honesty. I have never been able to love and accept myself till now.

Van

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, asking me questions, and letting me answer.
