*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.

What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? I provide healthcare along with health education to my patients. My goal is to understand my patients as well as I make them understand about their health and choices of treatment. I also focus on patient satisfaction. 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 PCP has a significant role in understanding physical and behavior health of their patients. They should be able to identify, treat and follow up on these patient needs, as well as get appropriate consults when and if needed. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I am a physician, who loves to take care of my patients. I love to travel, and I have had the experience of working abroad, I like to understand healthcare systems in different countries. I read and do gardening in my spare time.
