Circle Medical

+UCSF Health affiliation lends institutional credibility to its primary care and mental health practice

+Same-day video visits with flat $120 self-pay pricing when insurance isn't used

+Handles complex ongoing care (ADHD stimulant management, hormone therapy, weight care) that many async competitors avoid

−Prescribes Schedule II-V controlled substances via telehealth, which depends on DEA telemedicine flexibilities currently extended only through 2026-12-31 — a future rule change could disrupt care continuity

−Trustpilot rating (3.6 stars) is weak for the category, with roughly 30% one-star reviews concentrated on billing: incorrect insurance charges, no-show fees, and refund difficulty

−Support access is largely limited to chat/bot channels, which reviewers say makes billing disputes slow to resolve

Superpower

+Physician-founded (team includes doctors from Stanford, Harvard, Oxford, and UCLA) with a 4.5/5 Trustpilot average

+$349/year undercuts comparable diagnostics-membership competitors and includes optional add-on prescriptions and peptides that pure lab-testing rivals don't offer

+AI-assisted result interpretation paired with on-demand clinician access

−Trustpilot sample is still small (354 reviews) for a nationwide brand — the 4.5 average should be read with that caveat

−No phone-based customer support; patients describe extended email/text-only support cycles

−Multiple patient reports of billing continuing after a cancellation attempt
