Board Certified, Family Medicine, 18 years of experience
What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? My focus in medical care, I have a patient-centered approach addressing the whole person. I am passionate about assisting the patient to discover their root cause of illness. Through guided health promoting interventions they discover their optimal body functions. 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? Physical and Mental health are interconnected. I assist my patients to look at the whole picture : our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make healthy choices. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I enjoy yoga, meditation, being out in nature and spending time with my husband on our boat. I am a mom to 4 children. In my spare time I am involved in my children’s sporting activities. I encourage all of them to make a positive imprint in this world.

I so appreciate the provider who is treating me. She is professional and caring. The app is easy. It has been a really good experience.

Miles

I like all three providers I have interacted with on Circle Medical. They are friendly and easy to talk with.

Ciara

The experience is a lot easier and quicker for me compared to driving to a doctors office and waiting and then talking to a doctor for a short amount of time.

Rosemary

Just amazing! My provider is down to earth, very knowledgeable, and respectful of my own experience as a healthcare provider. Circle Medical’s ease of access to the service, and responsiveness are models in the industry.

Shannon

The ease and convenience was amazing. My PCP is very professional and welcoming. I felt very comfortable.

Jaydan

The provider I was with was very professional, on time and took my requests/issues seriously and paid attention to me during the meeting. Many experiences with doctors, it seems like they aren't even listening and most likely drawing pictures on their note pads instead of treating you like an individual.

Amir

Has always been super helpful! The video conferencing capability is wonderful. I've actually gotten help with eczema and the provider was able to confirm and treat without a problem.

Jamya

I can get appointments anytime I need them from the comfort of my home and my prescriptions are always filled really quick.

Valentina

I like my provider, it’s easy and hassle free, and I feel like I’m getting the help I needed. Plus, I tried to schedule stuff the traditional way and they only got back to me a week later. This is way faster.

Brian

The staff that looks out for me...cares for me! I feel they have a very genuine concern for my wellbeing! That means the world to me. It's not just a quick face-time chat, or that feeling of ever being rushed, I truly feel my provider, who's been with me for some time now, actually cares about my health and how best to keep me in the great shape I am now!

Katie

Absolutely perfect. Extremely professional visits, always on time and no front desk staff or traffic!!! How can you beat this?

Paula

Convenient & and efficient system. Services like this benefit patients and the country. This will save Americans from millions of hours of waiting in clinic lobbies, reduce emissions, reduce fuel consumption, reduce traffic, and drive efficiency in medical records and billing. All these things have a multiplier effect.

James

There was no waiting list. They accept a wide variety of insurance. I felt like I was heard and the provider was very non-judgmental.

Krish

Circle Medical is a much more convenient way to see a doctor. No taking days off work, sitting around in waiting rooms or fighting traffic to make the appointment.

Lilianna

Great selection of providers. They are kind and knowledgeable. Easy process - insurance accepted! Did my check in while at work, doesn’t get better than that!

Skyla

Fast assistance, ability to choose provider based on your need and time frames. Easy to use portal. My experience with the provider has been great!

Marlon

The app makes everything really easy and both providers I've seen so far have been wonderful. I couldn't find any doctors in my area that weren't insanely expensive so this app has been a lifesaver!

This app is a perfect way for people who have adhd and anxiety and anything similar. It is insanely difficult for me to get myself to the doctor with kids, as well. This has helped so much and helped me get the treatment I desperately need in the comfort of my own home. I recommend it to everyone.
