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? A primary care provider's role should be to treat the whole person, to help patients to achieve better overall physical and mental health through optimization of preventative medicine and up to date medical knowledge. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I am originally from Montane, now living in Buffalo, NY. In my spare time I love to read, hike and camp with my husband and two dogs.

Alicia

My primary doctor that I see is very attentive, caring, and makes me feel comfortable at every visit.

Tyrie

My provider is great, easy to talk to, and addressed my concerns, tried a different approach to medication and it’s the first time ever it’s really worked for me.

Kris

I work all day and I have to take time off of work to visit the doctor. This is so much more convenient.

Rooker

I love my primary care, I have been finally taking care of my health and they have given me the tools for it. I love ease of the app and the assistance from care coordinators.

Layne

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

Bernard

The best, most easy experience I’ve ever had! My provider has been tremendously knowledgeable and helpful.

Malia

Everything about the service and the people have been great. Always on time, nice to speak with and answer every question.

Barry

Excellent customer service and support. I usually avoid the doctor's office at all costs but my provider here is really nice and pleasant. Definitely a game changer for my health! Thank you :-)

Patrick

I love having a primary care provider to work with me on getting the correct medication needed to function. I love the convenience of the telehealth appointments as well.

Macy

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

Ireland

Setting things up was incredibly easy and stress-free. I love that the app uses my real name as opposed to what was legally given. And the app works really well, haven't had a single tech issue. Having this option for my appointments with my busy schedule is making my HRT treatment possible.

Alan

Circle Medical has filled the access gap to consistent medical care and taken the frustration out of getting appointments and prescriptions. Your service is second to none.

Elaina

I had struggled to find a primary care provider near where I live as I live in a very rural area and I found this via Google search and could not be happier with the service I have received since. Appointments available next day, easy app to use and friendly staff. Highly recommend!!

Regina

Each provider I have encountered is kind and extremely thorough. I never feel rushed as you often do in a typical primary care setting.

Brice

The best care provider I've ever had.

Rover

The providers have been wonderful, appointments are easy and always on time. The staff is quick and very responsive in chat.

Tom

I have had an excellent experience with Circle Medical and their staff. Everyone has been ready to answer my questions, and openly looks to help me with my needs.

Kennedy

Always available, always on time, incredible care providers.

Lisa

So easy and EXCELLENT providers. Have been so very thankful for this service. It’s truly improved my life.

Naima

My provider is amazing very professional. Customer care is always on top of any question you have. I highly recommend Circle Medical.

Briana

The convenience is amazing. I can always find an appointment with the same person at a time that works best for my schedule. Also, I love the ability to text questions whenever I want. I get answers within the same day. Sometimes in an hour. It feels like a concierge service. I can call whenever I want. Make an appointment when I want, and get quick answers to all of my questions.

Seamus

I found an amazing provider who has helped me more in the last few months than a team of specialists over the course of nearly a decade of care.

Mala

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 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 Medicine has been a godsend for me because in my rural area there are not enough primary care physicians. I've had 5 PCPs in 4 years because they keep leaving. When I couldn't get a timely appointment with a new PCP, Circle Medical helped me, with care and concern. I highly recommend Circle Medical. I'm getting better care and health conversation with my provider than I did in person!

Dalia

I have worked with 2 other similar companies and this one far exceeded expectation in every category.

Charles

So easy to create an account from scratch, find an appointment (within 24 hours on a holiday weekend), and speak to a terrific professional who answered my questions

Laci

My provider was very nice. She listened to my concerns. I’m usually very nervous to speak to a new doctor but she made me feel very comfortable. I would recommend Circle Medical to any of my friends or family.

Melvin

The service and care that I have received has been beyond exceptional. I already have and will continue to recommend friends to Circle Medical.

Makenzie

Exceptional care from Day 1 all the way through current treatment. Couldn’t ask for a better service.

Rory

My provider has been BEYOND helpful, kind and compassionate. I never thought I would be so comfortable using an app for my medical needs, but I’m so glad I gave Circle Medical a chance!

Bobby

I have ADHD and this format of meeting with providers is very ADHD friendly. It makes it easy to make appointments and the reminds and app are helpful.

Adalyn

The portal was really easy to use, registration was simple, and I was quickly matched with a provider.

Aliyah

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

Felipe

I was able to schedule an appointment quickly and complete my diagnosis and prescription within the same week. My provider was caring, communicated clearly, and willing to answer questions.

Luke

My provider is awesome. She is always on time and prepared for my appointments. She is patient, listens to my concerns, and provides excellent care. The app is super easy to use and helps me keep track of my appointments and medical history. Definitely recommend!

Brett

I love the provider I have been seeing she is absolutely lovely and very informative. She actually cares and we have developed a great relationship, better than any doctor I have met with over the years in person. The process of setting everything up in the app was fairly quick and easy for me and when I had an issue it was quickly addressed within the chat. I would absolutely recommend Circle Medical and I have even recommended it to a friend.

Philip

I like being able to talk face-to-face to a provider without having to take a whole day off of work to go to doctor's appointment, and I can get primary care and other services all in one place.

Rhianna

Their support has been quite helpful. Apparently certain meds are very hard to get right now but they are fighting for me. As someone with an auto immune disease, telehealth during Covid has been invaluable. I cannot risk getting sick, but must continue my mental health treatment.
