Overall I've had a positive experience. My first provider was Arlene Saxsma who was wonderful. She was caring and took her time during our appointments. Unfortunately at some point she was no longer in network for me so I had to look for another provider. Julie Paul was the extreme opposite experience. Julie rushed the appointment-it felt like 2 minutes (and maybe it was that short). I asked her to write a doctor's note for all my medications EXCEPT for adderall since I was traveling to a country that may need to see that. She writes a note for adderall only so that was my first and last time seeing her. Luckily the next provider I selected was Jasmine Punnoose and she provided care equally as caring as Arlene.

I feel better being able to get the help that I need without having to leave my house. I also felt listened to.

Doing great and responsive

Being able to attend therapy from the comfort and safety of my own home is a welcomed change to going into a stark cold office with the ‘aesthetics of comfort’ that somehow always wind up in neutral colors that are anything but comforting. More than that is the availability. Here in my city, we’ve got 1 psychiatrist who works with ADHD in adults, and they are routinely booked two years out. Circle Medical also provides documentation and notes that you can download and print out to show that PCP in your life who doesn’t believe anything they can’t see. (Aka—if it’s not in the app they can access, they don’t believe it’s real—and yes, that attitude was a deciding factor in me changing PCPs as well.) In short: there is a lot of benefit to using Circle Medical and you can see the full bios of the person before you book an appointment to find the right one for you.

Therapist was great! However it would be equally as great to not have to go through the app on a mobile device. My phone will not log into the app.

Pricing was clear and provider was kind and helpful. They take insurance when some other telemedicine providers don't. They didn't charge me when it was determined they couldn't help with what I needed. Not a good option for anyone already on a controlled substance as they won't be able to prescribe any additional controlled medications. If you're on HRT and seeking ADHD treatment, don't bother here.

Overall, I had an extremely pleasant experience with Circle Medical. I was able to get an appointment same-day, on a Sunday! My provider was terrific! The app is easy to use and understand. The only issue I have is with verifying my insurance.

All medical appointments should be this easy. I was lucky to have found a great doctor online and the ability to meet with her by video has been life changing. I don't have to wait months to get an appointment, and I can meet her from the comfort of my own home without having to drive and wait in an office. She sends me to labs for testing, assesses the reports, and provides care as needed. For once, I feel like I have a doctor who can holistically manage my health. This review is missing one star because most everything needed to take place on the app. It looks like there have been some changes on the website since, but previously when I was facing a login issue on the app before an appointment time, it took a while to get out of a login error loop with the app and website.
