What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? I love getting to know my patients. Not only talking about their health but getting to know them personally, is what I enjoy most about my job. Having patients feel comfortable during their appointments is very important to me. 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? Whether it be physical or mental health, I believe in listening to the patient and working with them to come up with a safe treatment plan for their diagnosis. I do not believe in a "one size fits all" form of healthcare. Discussing and offering different options of care at times is important so the patient can make an informed decision about what may work best for them. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I have been a nurse practitioner since 2017 and was a critical care nurse for 5 years before that. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling, camping, hiking, and riding my motorcycle. I will never say no to ice cream or pasta.

Jan

They listen. I finally got put on meds that help.

Anabelle

Circle Medical is very convenient, costs are reasonable as a self-pay patient. And my provider is absolutely awesome!

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.

Medical care meant for modern life. Flexible times and locations. Providers who care about your well being and respect your time. I feel like my provider is a practical problem solver.

It's easy to book an appointment, the physicians are nice and the customer service is great.

The process has been so easy and every care team rep I have encountered has been kind and courteous no matter how silly my question.

Elaina

The Circle Medical team works together to serve patient requests and needs promptly, courteously, and efficiently. I feel very fortunate to be a patient and count on support for my medical needs.

Felix

I've already recommended it to someone else frustrated by their doctor not taking their ADHD symptoms seriously, which is so often the case.

Emerson

I’m convinced that these wonderful people truly care about the patients they serve. I have made such a meaningful connection with my provider, and every rep who answers my questions in the chat. First-rate customer support. Easy appointment booking. Fair price. Thank you Circle Medical.

Amy

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

Naima

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

I have already recommended it to my sister who suffers many of the same things I do, mostly for the incredibly stress-free telehealth appointments as in person visits cause me anxiety and are harder to get to with my schedule.

Anika

Very convenient to use and the practitioner I’m using is incredibly sweet, listens, and doesn’t rush me.

Julien

Fast, easy to use, excellent professional service. There are many lousy companies and scams out there, and this is definitely NOT one of them!

Khalil

I have a great working relationship with my provider. It is really easy to get care, and feel cared for even in a virtual meeting.

Cardi

My provider is attentive and listens to me needs. She addresses any issues I have. She is never late to our meetings.

Remi

I think you guys are just wonderful. Very professional and responsible prescribing prescribing practices. I also really like my provider; she is compassionate and personable. I think Circle Medical eases the uncomfortability and takes the stigma away regarding ADHD. Also the online support if I have any questions or concerns is remarkably efficient and so quick to respond, even on weekends and after hours. Thank you guys!

Phoebe

They respond to your chat so fast. Excellent customer service. Above and beyond.

Denzel

The turnaround time to get an appointment and see a provider was so quick and easy; everything is setup with the neurodivergent brain in mind from the way the app is designed to appointment reminders and calendar syncing. My provider made me feel heard and she kept our appointment focused on the task at hand (so important for adhd minds!).

Brynlee

Tthey have been extremely helpful, and my provider has been extremely kind and helping. She made me feel comfortable and better immediately during our first visit.

Sonny

I rated you a 10 because firstly my experience was excellent, the provider was very professional and easy to talk to, and the medication she recommended seems to be working great!

Devin

I love my doctor, she is so helpful, listens to me and we both come to an agreement which is incredible. I have found in my own experience and hearing others that so many doctors don't work with their patients and my doctor does. The app is also super easy to use and every time I have had a problem I get an answer right away. Thank you!

Megan

I love the app. Excellent. You could book on an appt early or on weekends. The provider I work with is knowledgeable, friendly, compassionate and very supportive and thorough!!!

James

It is so difficult to access mental health care services right now especially for ADHD, so far I have received immediate and responsive care that has already improved my quality of life, thank you.

Eric

Oh my word! This experience has changed my life. No more wasted time in traffic, being exposed to others’ germs, long waits in the ‘waiting’ room. I’ve gotten the help I didn’t know I needed. And the providers are consistently working with me to tweak things or address anything else that might not be quite right. I have cried tears of happiness at having hope again, and how much better I feel!

Lindsay

My practitioner is amazing and has helped me so much. She is compassionate and truly cares about her patients.

Dallas

Easy to book an appointment, huge selection of days and times and you can use different providers. Everyone is helpful and respectful.

Alicia

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

Great, highly skilled, and supportive providers. Also, the app is easy to use, and I get quick responses to questions

Andy

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

It was amazingly fast to get an appointment compared to the wait times in my area for a mental health professional. The provider I am seeing is very personable and I feel like she understands me and always gives me opportunities for questions. I have never felt judged. I have used the chat support and received a response much faster than most doctors offices.

Aaden

The app is convenient, easy to use, and lets me schedule appointments on short notice (such as for paxlovid for COVID infection). Excellent experience, and my healthcare provider meets my needs.

Logan

I work in many different states in the U.S. and love the convenience of the platform and flexibility of being able to switch to a new provider in a new state on a whim.

Dalia

I’ve had an amazing experience. I liked how I was able to read up on the providers to find the right fit for me. The provider I chose is absolutely the right fit and has worked with me to find the correct dosage of medication.

Roberto

I have sent this app to three of my friends who were having issues with a competitor and they switched and haven't look back. The amount of appointments, the ability to choose your provider and the range of the appointments available in one app.

Raven

I have really bad anxiety just at the thought of making a call to make an appointment. This made it possible to get the services I need.

Will

It was extremely easy to sign-up and utilize the app. From the first time I ever heard of the app, I was in an appt within several hours and paired with an AMAZING provider that is very sensitive to my needs and concerns.

Cailyn

More thorough than any in-person doctor visit I've ever been to.
