More about Sarah Hower, RN, NP

*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.* What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? I decided to pursue my master’s to become a family nurse practitioner in order to further expand my knowledge and have the autonomy to see and treat patients. I can now focus on treating the patient as a whole as well as putting an emphasis on prevention and education. Instead of simply treating the symptom/s, the underlying cause is addressed to significantly improve the overall quality of life of the patient. Being able to go through this journey of health alongside my patients is what makes me passionate about being a healthcare provider. In your opinion, what should be the role of a primary care provider for a patient, taking into account both physical health and behavioral health needs? Becoming a nurse practitioner involves incorporating the patient’s needs, a multitude of education, critical thinking, and providing the best care possible proven by evidence-based practice. However, there is so much more to overseeing a patient’s well-being, specifically with preventative and primary care. In order to be the best provider, advocating for the patient’s rights, safety and autonomy are the most important aspects. In addition, allowing the patient to be part of their own plan of care is helpful in establishing a trusting relationship and ensuring that the patient will be motivated to continue with their treatment. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? In my spare time, I love to be active and outdoors as much as possible. I also spend a great deal of my time with my close family and friends. I also enjoy traveling and getting to have new experiences and meet new people.

Professional , caring , thorough , and non judgmental care !
I was having panic attacks so I was seeking out a professional to help with medication management. She did not look up at me from her computer for more than 3 times and was so inconsiderate of my problems. She referred to my boyfriend who passed away as “dead boyfriend” I tried to address it with her office first but I received the same cold tones of which she provided. I have been to multiple psychiatrist, therapists and physicians assistants both in person and on Zocdoc and have never been disrespected this way. Beware

Circle is spamming Zocdoc with the same person to route you to them, when I search for aaaany doctor on Zocdoc this same doctor shows up and it’s extremely predatory and makes Zocdoc was less effective. You have to sign up for Circle which is a “modern primary care” and they just route you to their people who then refer you to wherever. In my case I was searching for an in-network therapist through Zocdoc, and what I got was an RN PCP who then referred me to some random e-therapy site over never heard of which does NOT accept my insurance, or any insurance at all. Complete waste of time when I was really looking for care. Step it up Zocdoc and stop letting Circle spam your otherwise legit service.

I actually thought I was seeing a urologist not a pcp so what’s wrong with Zocdoc search engine? Luckily I need a pcp so my Plan was to make in person appt for a physical. Now they’re saying they don’t accept my insurance . So they accepted the first time and not for follow up? Super shady. … Not happy at all .
