Full Review
Founded in 2015 and based in San Francisco, Circle Medical pairs an insurance-first primary care model (self-pay $120/appointment, $0-$35 average copay when insured) with a sizeable mental health and ADHD practice that includes controlled-substance stimulant prescribing. That controlled-substance offering depends on the DEA's telemedicine flexibilities for prescribing Schedule II-V medications without a prior in-person exam, currently extended only through December 31, 2026 — a real continuity risk for patients relying on ongoing stimulant refills. Circle Medical's Trustpilot rating (3.6 stars, 1,288 reviews) is markedly weaker than comparable primary care telehealth brands, with roughly 30% of reviews at one star, the large majority describing billing disputes: incorrect insurance coding, no-show charges, and difficulty reaching a human for support. The UCSF affiliation and same-day access are genuine strengths, but the volume and consistency of billing complaints suggest an operational weak point patients should budget time to navigate.
