About Dr. Sowmya Josyula

*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.* Sowmya is proud to be a member of Circle Medical, a digital-first, patient-focused experience that makes quality care more accessible than ever. Tell us what makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider. What keeps me in medicine is the moment a patient realizes someone is finally listening. I've spent over a decade managing chronic diseases — and the pattern is almost always the same. When a patient reaches me, they've been handed prescriptions but never a plan. That's the work I love. Not the prescription pad, but the relationship and the data that prove someone's life improved. I practice evidence-based medicine combined with certified lifestyle medicine. 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? A primary care provider should see the whole patient. I don't treat diet, sleep, stress, and medication as separate problems. If I write a prescription without asking about those things, I've treated the number, not the person. A PCP's job is to screen routinely for depression, anxiety, and chronic stress; to normalize those conversations so patients don't feel judged bringing them up. Continuity is integral in primary care — and behavioral health is inseparable from continuity, because the trust required for a patient to disclose what's really going on is built one visit at a time. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I host two podcasts — one for patients, one for physicians. Outside of clinic. I am a home cook and have spent years adapting Indian meals into clinically sound plans.
