“This is probably the best experiences I've had with online doctor appts and with Zocdoc! She was very patient and understanding of my situation. She actually spent more time listening and going through my history, medications and adjusting medications and doses. WAY beyond the average I've experienced in the pass. I would highly recommend her. EXCELLENT!!! ”

About Rachel Akin

*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.* Rachel Akin is proud to be a member of Circle Medical, a digital-first, patient-focused experience that makes quality care more accessible than ever. She holds a Master's in Family Nursing from Columbia University. I believe the role of a primary care provider is to approach the patient as a whole-mentally and physically-and ensure they feel understood and heard. This can be a vulnerable time for patients, and it's important to meet them where they are with kindness and empathy. Outside of work, I love to get outside and be active. Name an activity, and I am there. I love hiking, tennis, any water activity, and yoga. I also enjoy the mountains and go snowboarding whenever I can in the winter. Reading and podcasts are also things I enjoy. I love to learn.

As a full time worker, this app saved me. I was unsure at first but just a quick google search put me at ease. I looked up the nurse practitioner I had an appointment and was able to view her LinkedIn to see she was legit. The process was straight forward and I was able to do my appointments on my lunch breaks in my car. I highly recommend.
Very easy and great
