*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.* What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? I enjoy helping others and learning about the evolution of science and healthcare. I want to be able to allow better access to medicine for the underserved populations and encourage ongoing long term care for patients. 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 should determine the needs of the patient and create a health care plan to achieve the medical and behavioral health goals in a shared manner by both provider and patient. A PCP should be accessible to that patient for efficient long term care. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I am originally from Michigan and have a background in Emergency Medicine and Urgent Care. I enjoy being active and like to ski in the winter and play tennis in the summer. I love to host dinner parties for my friends.
