*Please note: Circle Medical is unable to see patients who are on a Medicaid or MediCal insurance plan, as it could result in you losing your insurance coverage. If after booking with us it is found that you have a plan that is part of Medicaid or MediCal, your appointment will be cancelled.* I enjoy connecting with my patients, helping them become the healthiest version of themselves while supporting their mental and emotional wellbeing. Being a Nurse Practitioner means treating all aspects of the patient including social, emotional, physical, and mental. The primary care provider is the gateway to healthcare for most patients. They come to their PCP for general wellness but also for education on their disease processes and how best to treat them. The PCP is the main provider coordinating their care, making it a personal relationship. The PCP refers to specialists when needed, and factors in the patient's goals of care for optimal health outcomes. My name is Kirsten, I live in Chicago IL with my two dogs, Lady and Milo.
