I saw PA Christian Martinez. He was amazing and I would HIGHLY recommend him!!! I do have a con of this office: the insurance situation. Circle Medical is refusing to tell me that they confirm if my insurance is actually accepted with them. I reached out to customer service multiple times, but they keep telling me the I have to verify MYSELF? I gave them my insurance card ahead of time and they told me that it was accepted but not verified? I am extremely confused and very worried that I will get a surprise bill. I am waiting to get my labs that were ordered until I know if I am getting charged for things in case my insurance for some reason isn't covered.

I cannot express how grateful I am to have found Dr. Martinez at the Circle Medical office. From the moment I walked in, I was met with warmth, kindness, and genuine attentiveness. Dr. Martinez's friendly demeanor instantly put me at ease, and throughout my visit, he truly listened to my concerns, giving me the undivided attention I needed. Not only is Dr. Martinez an exceptional listener, but he also possesses the remarkable ability to communicate complex medical information in a clear and understandable way. He patiently answered all my questions, ensuring I had a thorough understanding of my condition and the recommended treatment options. What sets Circle Medical apart is their innovative use of their app. Checking in has never been easier, and having a platform to directly contact my doctor and securely store my medical files has been a game-changer. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Martinez and the Circle Medical practice to anyone seeking outstanding medical care.

I went to get my annual physical examand it was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had with a provider. Christian Martinez was amazing. He will listen carefully and explain anything with ease.
Verified patient
Christian was AWESOME! I felt so comfortable and at ease, and he made the physical enjoyable, and you could tell he was really listening and hearing what I was telling him.
Verified patient
Christian is an extremely kind and friendly doctor He is an excellent listener and communicator He is very knowledgeable and I instantly felt I could trust him He was extremely professional and thorough He is very approachable and has excellent eye contact during the visit I am very glad I chose him as my primary heath care provider
Honestly, I loved Christian and I understand that can be a weird way to describe seeing the doctor but Christian made me feel comfortable and cared for within minutes.
Went in for a standard STI check, was billed for much more. There is no way to call and contest the charges, so if you get overbilled (which seems likely), prepare to go back into the office in person to handle it.
Verified patient
Very impressed with my visit. I was a bit annoyed by the amount of emails and notifications that reminded me of their $50 no show fee, and it was mandatory that I downloaded their app to confirm my appointment. That being said, it was worth the minor annoyance and finally feel like I have a PCP I can work with on a regular basis.
He’s great
Love how bright the building felt!
Verified patient
Christian was very attentive, and came up with great solutions to all of my health issues. The best doctor’s appointment I’ve ever had!
Verified patient
Christian was excellent. He was knowledgeable, a great listener, and developed a clear plan of action. The location was reasonably convenient for me and about a 10 minute walk from work. I'm excited to now have a better primary care option here in SF that's affiliated with UCSF
