*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.* JoBeth Augustyniak is proud to be a member of Circle Medical, a digital-first, patient-focused experience that makes quality care more accessible than ever. Tell us what makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider. I am passionate about providing accessible care to everyone. Increasing access is one of the ways that we, as a country, can start to catch up to other countries with better health outcomes. 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 is that trusted care giver that knows you from head to toe. The one that knows your deepest thoughts and feelings, and helps you meet your healthiest possible self with your goals in mind. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I enjoy eating at new restaurants, spending time with my two adult children, and reading.
