Renee Aulisi, FNP-C
Board Certified, Family Medicine, 13 years of experience
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 care provider role should encompass the needs of the individual on a wholistic basis. Caring for someone's emotional/behavioral needs is just as important as their physical health as each of these can affect the other. The primary care provider should act as an advocate for their patient and by caring for them in the physical and behavioral aspect of medicine does just that. What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? I have been in healthcare since 2008 and every patient interaction has been rewarding in its own unique way. Taking it to the next level and providing primary care has been fulfilling because I know my patients are well cared for and trust me with their life, health and wellness. I have continued to provide treatment for chronic and acute illness, as well as ADHD and birth control counseling. I also provide treatment and preventive counseling for STDs and PrEP in a discrete and professional manner. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I very much enjoy traveling and experiencing new cultures (mainly through food!). I enjoy being outdoors, participating in various activities such as bike riding, hiking and running. I participated in my first Walt Disney World half marathon in 2019 and am getting back into the race world and am always open to suggestion of where to run next! I also enjoy visiting my friends and family that live in different places throughout the country.

Kaylie

Telehealth has given me access to healthcare that without it, I would have to days off of work to obtain. Ease of access has been a life saver.

Zechariah

Easy process, excellent providers and a phenomenal app experience.

Nick

Didn’t feel like my last doctor's appointments. My provider felt genuinely compassionate about helping me manage my life obstacles with my ADHD. Was skeptical at first but so glad I made the decision. Super affordable for the quality of care.

Justin

It is a very well organized system, efficient and easy. My provider has specific ADHD training and you let us know how your ADHD program rolls (up front). No one likes surprises. My provider was kind and helpful and I got a follow up on our discussion and what I can do to empower myself NOW. Thanks Circle.

Jasper

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

Because they get right to the main issues. Most doctors I have seen go through a trial and error diagnosis that goes on for a year or more.

Marlee

I love the convenience and ease of scheduling appointments. The providers I have interacted with have been great! They really care about their patients.

Barbara

I have been extremely happy with the entire staff, always so willing to help me in any way from appointments to assistance with insurance. I have already suggested Circle Medical to my sister, who struggles with many of the same issues that I do.

Rhianna

The doctors are awesome, the best of the best!! Extremely happy!!! 🙏🏻🥰

Mike

Very professional service. I was able to be seen right away and there was complete follow up with my prescription. Thank you!

Shane

I've never had such immediate access to high quality medical care. It's wonderful.

Mel

The app was very easy to use. I didn't have any problems at all. I really like it. The provider I chose was very good and very thorough. Everything on the app work and was just easy to maneuver. Thanks for such a great experience!!

Kylie

The process was quick and very efficient. The provider was very knowledgeable and I could tell that she really cared.

Bernard

No matter where I live or move to with my job, I can see my provider on Circle. I’ve been using Circle for over a year and absolutely love them.

Remi

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

My provider is extremely caring, she believes in always giving me her most honest and sincere feedback regardless of wether I like it or not. I look forward to seeing her every month. Circle Medical and my provider have given my life purpose, and I now understand my shortcomings not as failures but as a condition.

Cristy

The interface is extremely easy to use. My interactions have been extremely helpful and insightful with answering all of my questions. I never felt judged or uncomfortable with my interactions.

Chasity

Everyone has been absolutely wonderful to work with. Genuine, resolves my concerns and intelligent. Thank you!

Dave

I have had nothing but a great experience all around. The providers are great and the online staff has been helpful every time I’ve needed anything.

Amanda

Well, Circle Medical has changed my life! I love Circle Medical because you have a plethora of providers available within a click of a button! Thank you!

Sonia

Provider is amazing and so are the staff coordinators.

Riley

Joining Circle Medical has saved my life. I was so lost and didn't know why or what was wrong with me. I took a chance and downloaded the app, and had an appointment in the comfort of my own home within a week. I'm now getting the help I always needed and it has been a game changer.

Emilia

My provider was amazing. Very easy to talk to. The app was also really good.

Guillermo

My provider is very helpful and friendly. I love the convenience of seeing her at my home. Their team is always very helpful in helping with my insurance and medications as well.

Teagan

My provider has been very helpful in helping me find the right treatment. She is patient and through. The platform is user-friendly and easy to use.

Carly

Video appointments save a ton of time. All the providers have been very friendly, prompt and informative.

Jamir

The care and concern of the providers, ease of access and use on app and the speed at which things move when dealing with your provider is excellent. Could not be more pleased or grateful to have a provider that listens.

Jaiden

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

My provider is quite possibly the best most personable doctor I've ever had the pleasure of speaking with!

Clay

Appointment availability: I cannot get an in person appointment where I live (a big city) for 6 weeks. This app allowed me to connect with a medical professional the next day. (Same day was available as well). Professionalism: I felt that in my two appointments, I was treated with respect, not judged, and I was able to express my issues and thoughts to someone who was actually listening.

Leanna

I love speaking with my provider, she always listens to me and takes the time to be interested in me as a person!!

Erica

I have had nothing but a good experience with my provider. I have been able to get the help I need and have been able to regain control of my life.

Lillianna

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

This was super easy to use and understand I could do this in the comfort of my own home. I am very happy with the change that is coming in my life because of Circle Medical.

Kelly

Circle Medical has in all honesty provided me with the most attentive, compassionate, and informed health care I've ever received. Being able to get care that fits with my demanding and unusual work schedule is a game- changer. So many times in the past I've been unable to access care I needed, or follow-up care, because of travel issues, time constraints, and my own anxiety & depression.

Selah

Its extremely user friendly, and the Doctors, PAs and NPs are of the absolute highest quality.

Cara

Excellent service. Easy to navigate. Connections to professional staff that have helped me on multiple occasions.

Felipe

Because anytime I have had any issues the chat has gone far and beyond the expectations for customer service. The provider is always pleasant for me to talk to about what is going on. Circle Medical has also done just an amazing job of being easy to use.

Camille

Always prompt to reply, very friendly and knowledgeable.
