About Dr. Melvina B Patel
*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 a graduate of Ross University School of Medicine, where I earned my Doctor of Medicine degree. I love to help people be the healthiest versions of themselves and improve their lifestyles to prevent illnesses. I’m a people person and learn a lot from my patients as well.
In my opinion, a primary care provider should treat patients as a whole. Mental and physical health are closely connected, and addressing both contributes to the healthiest version of oneself.
Outside of work, I love to travel and am passionate about Indian music and dance. I also like to stay active by kickboxing and spending time running around with my dog.

The whole Circle Medical experience is quite good in comparison to other digital-centric clinical experiences (they do offer in-person care too, but it’s all managed via an app).
The doctor was polite, listened a lot, though she didn’t ask a lot in getting to know me as a brand new patient. Her post-appointment summary was very detailed and helpful.

Dr. Patel was very easy to talk to. I could tell that she cared about my concerns. She also had a wide array of knowledge and was responsive to issues I brought up. Looking forward to continuing treatment with her.

Would NOT recommend. VERY poor bedside manner, extremely rude, and had no desire in asking questions or getting to know more about me (this was my first appointment with her). She seemed annoyed and unprofessional in her responses. She told me right off the bat “I won’t be able to do anything for you today”, when she could have told me that before she approved my appointment request. Seems like she just wants to make money, extremely disappointed.
