Circle Medical 17+

I have been on ADHD medicine since childhood and yet I still get the runaround from doctors thinking I am drug seeking. These doctors take the time to look into my medical history and prescription history to validate that I am in fact an honest person struggling with ADHD. I have a wonderful relationship with my primary dr through circle and he remembers me every appointment, showing that he is not just doing this for the money. When I forget to book out in advance I am able to choose from a variety of other providers in my state who are just as helpful and thorough. The only issue is that CVC won’t fill controlled prescriptions through circle med, at least they wouldn’t 6 months ago. Which is fine because everywhere else will. The only downside is when you need to message your doctor you often need to go through a “care team” and that can be a lengthy process . But once you develop a relationship with your primary, depending on the provider, they may message you to start communication directly between the 2 of you.

Garbage company! Even worse PCs!
I had an initially session for ADHD where Ty he doctor told me this is a pre screen and we have to do another session for screening. All she did was ask me why I go yet ask appointment and went through my basic info. The whole session took maybe 10 minutes. The second session where it was the actual screening, she went through the most basic questionnaire you can find off the internet to diagnoses me with ADHD. She said to respond her with (never, sometimes, often, very often) to questions like “How often do you misplace or lose to your stuff?” The whole thing was maybe 9 questions and then she said “yes you qualify!” Like TikTok would have a more thorough diagnosis process for god’s sake! But yet, she couldn’t prescribe! Why? Cause money of course! We should do yet another session of annual healthcare in which she probably is gonna ask me what my height and weight is!!!!! I sent them my whole medical history and the yearly results of evaluation by my real actual physical healthcare provider. But she didn’t accept them and insisted on a 3rd session with herself “so we can get this done and move on with the prescription”. Well NO!!!!! Each of these 2 sessions were 170 dollars!!!!! Each lasted at most 15 minutes!!! Of course I didn’t do the 3rd session, but I wasted 340 dollars for ABSOLUTE NOTHING! STAY AWAY and save your time and money!

I’ve been a Circle Medical user for years. I briefly moved to a state where online prescriptions weren’t accepted for ADHD treatment. When I moved back to Texas, I started using them again.

It seems like a shell of what it used to be. I had an appointment this morning at 8:00 AM. I waited the entire 20 minutes on the call and the doctor never showed up. I figured someone would eventually reach out when they saw the session never started. Nope. In fact I tried to contact support, and as of 5:05 PM the same day (a whole business day), no one has read my support message yet. I work help desk in IT and I know it gets backed up, but to have a doctor No-Call/No-Show an appointment and receive radio silence when you reach out is not acceptable. I tried to reschedule with another doctor, but since I technically had an appointment that day, it blocked me from making any more.

So now I’m sitting here 8 hours after my appointment and no one has reached out or even read my message yet. Nothing from support, nothing from the doctor. It’s especially bad that Circle Medical charges a late fee/missed appointment fee and notifies you beforehand to respect their time when they don’t return that service anymore. Sorry Circle, but I won’t be coming back.
