About Lauren Yamada
*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. If after booking with us it is found that you have a plan that is part of Medicaid or MediCal, your appointment will be cancelled.*
I am passionate about providing convenient, accessible, and quality healthcare to all. Being able to treat a person's whole body, including their mind, is a very rewarding part of my job. I earned my Master's in Physician Assistant Studies from Yale University, which has equipped me with the skills to deliver comprehensive care.
In my opinion, a primary care provider should know their patient on a more personal level, as many outside factors can affect one's health. Understanding a patient's stressors, joys, hobbies, and family life is incredibly important in addressing overall physical and behavioral health.
A little about me: I am a huge Pittsburgh sports fan and love going to football, hockey, and baseball games in my spare time. I also enjoy trying new coffee shops, going for walks with my toddler, and reading.
