Reviews

I moved to New York City 12 years ago, bouncing from doctor to doctor. It took a long time to realize that I would never find the quality of care I wanted from anywhere else. So now, I come to see Trish four times a year. In between, the amazing support team, front desk staff, and pharmacy take care of me - no matter what comes up or how urgently I need something. They come through for me every time. Could not recommend Trish and the amazing team at Circle Care Center more highly.

Wonderful friendly staff with a clean facility. I felt comfortable and at ease, their onsite pharmacy is an added bonus,

I HAVE BEEN A PATIENT OF CIRCLE CARE FOR OVER 25 YEARS. I MOVED TO INDIANA 18 YEARS AGO BUT STILL FLY BACK TO CONNECTICUT FOR MY MEDICAL CHECK UPS. THE PROVIDERS AT CIRCLE CARE NEVER RUSH AN APPT AND MAKE SURE ALL MY QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS ARE COMPLETELY ADDRESSED. I WISH ALL OF MY PROVIDERS TREATED THIER PATIENTS THE WAY CIRCLE CARE HAS TAKEN CARE OF ME OVER THE YEARS.

All of my experiences at Circle Care Center have been nothing but pleasant with their professionalism and positive demeanor.

The staff at the clinic is excellent. Dr Rubin is the best doctor I have ever had. His ability to communicate with me and discuss and solve my health issues gives me great comfort.

Thanks for everything my son is so happy now

It is so pleasant being treated as a person instead of a birth date lining up for the feed lot/slaughter house.

Mar 2, 2019

Great medical care by Dr. Rubin. Took plenty of time for me. Great front office and back office. No waiting. Easy parking. Totally a pleasant experience.

Feb 28, 2019

Perfect. Thoughtful, efficient, trustworthy.

Feb 12, 2019

Very nice office friendly people

Feb 12, 2019

Friendly knowledgeable staff. There is a great deal of valuable literature in the waiting room. I realize that most of it is provided by pharmaceutical companies. What is conspicuously missing is ANY! Information on U=U. This is a huge disservice to EVERYONE. I have mentioned this to Dr. Dave on several of my visits. I realize there is no literature from DPH on U=U. NY state is doing a good job of publicizing U=U. I sincerely hope this aggreious situation will be addressed and corrected in the very near future!

Feb 10, 2019

Everyone is very curtious and nice.

Feb 4, 2019

Dr. Rubin and his team are AMAZING!!!

Jan 31, 2019

Doctor is very knowledgeable and took time to go over my condition. I felt welcome by the staff and comfortable.

Jan 30, 2019

Everyone I have ever encountered from this office is nothing less than outstandingly amazing! From Maria and Christina at check in, to Trish Barton, Johnny, Greg Mark and Lori! Everytime I come they are extremely professional, polite, courteous, accommodating! In the LGBTQ community it is not always possible to find a a medical community that offers resources and services that actually help and not hinder the patients needs and wants! I would recommend this facility to any and everyone I know, gay or straight! And please do not let me k=forget the helpful attendants in the pharmacy! My sentiments from the doctor's office are exactly the same for the pharmacy! Thank you for your continued support, help and inclusiveness. Circle Care is truly a gem of the most rare and beautiful quality in the medical society

When’s the last time you looked forward to a doctor’s appointment? Incredible personal care from the doctors, medical staff, reception, and the gals in the pharmacy which is on-site. So convenient! The office is staffed with such good people who like where they work, and, as a result, create an upbeat family experience. For me? Tthe perfect fit.

Jan 14, 2019

Circle Care means the world to me. That is all!

Jan 14, 2019

Staff is super friendly. Recognizes you by name. Nurses and doctor are always ready to see you in a timely manner. An office that reminds one of a home with a great family.

Jan 10, 2019

In my time of need I called CCC spoke to Maria and she made it a point to ensure I got the quality of healthcare I needed. Thank you so much for helping me and understand my needs . Thank you guys.

Everyone was super friendly, used my correct name right when I walked in the door and asked for my pronouns! Johnny was very friendly, complimented me on my tattoos and my nurse (I believe her name was Trish) was very informative and friendly, as well!

Dec 14, 2018

The professionalism displayed from the moment you walk in, and the pleasant demeanor of the staff is readily evident.

I have just recently come out as transgender after 40 years of hiding. I was very anxious about going to see someone about it. From my first phone call to circle care I knew I was going to the right place. The staff are all super friendly and helpful. They have in-house counciling too, so the doctor and councilor are always on the same page. I recommend anyone coming out as trans to go here. They know what they are doing!

Oct 12, 2018

I've ALWAYS experienced ONLY the most professional staff with a VERY positive demeanor.

Oct 12, 2018

Friendly all round practice.Helpful and caring .Efficent and knowledgeable.

Oct 10, 2018

I always feel cared for from the moment I walk in the door. I travel from New York City as I've never been able to find a doctor as caring as Trish. The team is also amazing. No matter what's going on - they help me out and get it done quickly!

Oct 5, 2018

Dr. Rubin is a very well informed specialist and has a compassionate personality so I felt very comfortable with him. He def shows concern for his patients which is a HUGE plus!

Oct 2, 2018

Everyone there is ridiculously pleasant, respectful, and kind.

Sep 29, 2018

Very respectful and professional staff

Sep 27, 2018

The facility is beautiful, and the doctor and staff were very professional. It reminded me a lot of LA’s LGBT center, which is a fantastic place.

Sep 24, 2018

I wasn't feeling well and I was seen by the doctor with a few hours of when I called. This is the best clinic I have ever been to.

Sep 4, 2018

Great staff and welcoming environment. Experienced professionals.

Sep 2, 2018

I’ve never known a health care organization and pharmacy that has gone this above and beyond in personal care, convenience and class! Best way to sum it up; when I find myself in the neighborhood, I like dropping by just to say “Hello!” (For all you “This is Spinal Tap” fans, Circle Care goes up to 11!)

Sep 1, 2018

Ed was very easy to talk with and listened to my issues with ease. I felt very comfortable speaking with him.

Aug 20, 2018

Dr. Rubin is smart as a whip and explains well and thoroughly

Aug 10, 2018

Fantastic as always! What a wonderful caring staff! I couldn’t be happier!!!

Aug 9, 2018

My opinion of Circle Care has changed considerably since changing physicians. It is nice knowing there are those who have compassion still working in the medical field.

Aug 8, 2018

Patricia was excellent in providing assistance while Dr. Rubin was out on vacation. I really appreciated her assistance!!!

Aug 2, 2018

Each of the staff is a pleasure to work with!

Jul 27, 2018

Great care and service!!!

Jul 25, 2018

I always receive the best care a Circle Care Center. Everyone is so friendly, helpful, and accepting of who I am. If you're LGBTQ, you need to go there for your medical care and prescriptions. Their pharmacy is the best too!

Jul 22, 2018

Everyone was very nice, polite and treated me great.

Jul 15, 2018

My experiences with Circle Care Center can only be described as a most pleasant and thoroughly positive experience.

Jul 9, 2018

Great experience. No wait time. Excellent care. On site pharmacy

Jul 5, 2018

Professional, compassionate, warm, friendly - there are some of the words that come to my mind when I think of Circle Health Care. From the receptionists, nursing staff, and Dr. Rubin (my provider), I have always been treated as if I were a part of the circle "family". I have more than the usual set of health issues, and the staff and the doctor have been very accommodating to my special needs, and they have made sure that I have been well taken care of. I want to thank everyone for helping me to get through some pretty tough issues with kindness, patience, understanding - and above all, absolute competence. I would highly recommend Circle Care to anyone who cares about their wellness and wants to be treated with consideration and respect. Keep up the great work!

Jun 30, 2018

I actually enjoy going to this office , the people and the staff are very friendly and courteous and helpful and the service is a prompt

Always enjoy the visit. Everybody is great!

Apr 28, 2018

David Ruben is a very friendly and knowledgeable physician. He takes the time necessary to explain labs/treatment plans etc.

Apr 23, 2018

Steph is amazingly friendly very professional and everything is on time

Apr 19, 2018

Dr. Rubin is amazing! He is thorough and really listens to my concerns. He never makes me feel rushed. Most importantly, he is extremely knowledgeable, therefore, I know I’m in good hands!

Apr 16, 2018

Wonderful staff! Great comfortable atmosphere.

Apr 14, 2018

Treatment with patients should be better. Im thinking of finding another clinic.

Mar 31, 2018

The receptionist and medical staff are great to work with. Trish is the best and will continue to go to CCC because of here knowledge and the way she cares for her patients.

Mar 22, 2018

great care. the best in CT

Mar 17, 2018

Everyone is totally friendly and makes you feel welcomed. Dr. Rubin of course is absolutely awesome and has been incredible with my Care.

Mar 12, 2018

Dr Rubin and Laurie (?) were great. Dr Rubin diagnosed my problem which my internist could'nt

Mar 12, 2018

Dr. Rubin is not only warm and personable, he is very knowledgeable and takes the time to listen and explain things.

Mar 1, 2018

No wait ,and dealt with all issues in a professional manner,very satisfied.

Feb 28, 2018

I was so happy to have worked out my insurance so I could come back after a fairly long time. Just seeing Dr. Ruben again made me feel so much better. In fact, some of my issues I came in with seemed to heal immediately. I think Circle Care, both the treatment side and the pharmacy wing, are fabulous; Better now than ever! I’m so grateful I’ve been put onto you. I always spread the word.

Feb 26, 2018

Dr. Rubin is thorough and committed to excellence in his work. i know that my continued great health is a result of that.

Feb 15, 2018

I've been a client with CCC for almost 5 years. The staff are kind, considerate, and they take the time to genuinely get to know you..when I go for my appts, it feels like family

I love the Circle Care Center and would highly recommend them to anyone. Their empathy and patient focus is, in my experience, unsurpassed.

Dec 8, 2017

Simply nice caring people.

Dec 7, 2017

The staff are all very pleasant and made me feel well cared for. Every time I go there they all treat me kindly and help me with what I need. Very knowledgeable. The fish tank out front is nice as well.

Dec 6, 2017

Great facility in every aspect of wellness except one, that being mental health. Therapy is wonderful, but it can only do so much and the fact that this office doesn't prescribe mental health medications is sad. Mental health is not only important for the LGBT community but its also important to those suffering with HIV/AIDS and well just about anyone else.

Nov 29, 2017

Very pleasant and professional

Nov 11, 2017

I WILL RECOMMEND THE SHRINK

Nov 9, 2017

I have always been treated well and very respectfully. Would highly recommend.

Nov 8, 2017

It's was very easy to speak openly with Dr Rubin about the problem I was having. He was very interested in what I had to say and I feel confident in his decision about treatment. I had an excellent experience with him and everyone at CIRCLE CARE Center.

Oct 30, 2017

I find the people cheerful and very helpful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oct 27, 2017

Attentive, caring and informative- kudos to all staff we’ve ever had the pleasure of dealing with.

Oct 27, 2017

I feel very strongly that this place needs a mental health provider with the power to prescribe medications.

Oct 25, 2017

The staff at the center could not have been more pleasant and helpful.

Oct 21, 2017

Dr. took his time explaining all the dynamics of my current labs and diagnosis on language I could understand.

Oct 11, 2017

Circle Care center staff and doctors are helpful and keep up to date with new meds . Also conveniant that all pharmacy needs and lgbtq issues can be discussed in same building

Sep 29, 2017

Excellent treatment and care.

Sep 25, 2017

The care I receive here is unprecedented. I travel from New York to see Trish Garton. And when the practice split last year, my only question when I called is "where is Trish going"? Also, the desk staff and pharmacy are friendly and always helpful. When I run out of a prescription, they make sure I have it right away.

Sep 23, 2017

A beautiful facility with easy parking and convenient location.

Sep 17, 2017

Amazing medical office for the lgbtq community

Sep 13, 2017

Always a pleasure to be seen here, office staff and doctors are warm and friendly.

Aug 31, 2017

Great care and friendly atmosphere. Especially the front reception.

Aug 28, 2017

CCC is responsive and quick, great resource for the LGBTQ community.

Aug 23, 2017

Circle Care is a great health care resource for LGBTQ persons. As a transperson, I am treated with courtesy, respect and care. Dr. Rubin is great as well as the entire staff. Southwest CT is a better place for having Circle Care.

Jul 19, 2017

A family feeling of comfort!

Jul 19, 2017

People there is so lovely!!!

Jul 14, 2017

I'm having pain in my shoulder and thought I should go to physical therapy. My doctor, Trish Garton, recommended that I see the chiropractor, Tom French. She said the pain is probably nerve related. Dr. French has performed two adjustments on my back and I'm feeling much better. Thanks Trish and Tom.

Jun 28, 2017

I love this place very friendly staff

Jun 22, 2017

Excellent bedside manner. The front desk staff is friendly and reliable. I don't like going to the doctor but they make it easier. Doctors are caring, the staff is friendly. All have open minds and good hearts.

Jun 8, 2017

I've been to many health centers and doctors on both coasts, and nothing has been as wonderful as Circle Care. From the front desk to backstage, and the pharmacy! It all works beautifully.

Jun 1, 2017

I visited this office for a second opinion on a health issue but also to "interview" a new primary physician. The experience was the best I've ever had with any medical provider. I felt immediately at home.

May 20, 2017

I'm glad a facility like this is much more accessible than where I went before. The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable.

May 19, 2017

All staff kind and knowledgeable.

May 18, 2017

Seeing Ed Moran was really great. As a queer trans person of color he was really affirming. He's very nice and understanding and very open to correcting or changing his therapy methods to best suit his clients. He's the best!!

May 17, 2017

My first visit [annual physical] with Dr. Rubin went very well. I was completely satisfied on all levels as a patient. I would not hesitate to recommend him as a physician. However scheduling a reasonable appointment date, in the past, has proven to be frustrating and difficult. For that reason alone I would hesitate to recommend the service.

May 5, 2017

Rarely does one actually look forward to visiting the doctor. It's like seeing friends. Great care and great company. I include the pharmacy as well!

Apr 29, 2017

Staff is helpful, friendly, calls you by name when you enter.

Apr 22, 2017

I Love Patricia Garton she is the best she really listens to my needs she is very helpful I always love coming to my appointments

Apr 20, 2017

Everyone is extremely professional and helpful. The staff really cares about the patient and shows a sense of urgency and ownership.

Apr 13, 2017

The staff is very knowable and accommodating. I feel very comfortable here.

Apr 7, 2017

while I understand that there is some changes going on, I was disappointed in the fact that I was going for a blood test at Quest so I fasted, left work and showed up to find out that they did not have me in the system. It has been straightened out but I still need to do the whole thing over next week.....

Apr 1, 2017

Doctor and staff are very helpful

Mar 31, 2017

There are two places I love to be; the Apple Store and Circle Care!

Mar 23, 2017

I am always bringing word of your outstanding facility to ther people and aagencies.

Mar 11, 2017

Always a wonderful experience

Mar 9, 2017

Both Dr. Rubin and his personnel are all welcoming, warm and caring. No long wait times and an atmosphere which is uplifting.

Mar 8, 2017

The aid that I've received from Circle Care has been indispensable. The entire staff was welcoming and helpful. I cant recommend them enough.

Mar 8, 2017

Everyone there is so incredibly friendly and I felt comfortable the minute I walked in. Highly recommended!

Mar 8, 2017

I loved everything about my last visit. I have one suggestion. Between having vitals done and waiting for the Dr please bring us back out to the waiting room or into another room. The room is so small and stuffy especially for two people.You just sit there and it seems forever even if it is not.

Mar 4, 2017

great attention to service for your client

Mar 1, 2017

Dr. Rubin is an excellent doctor with a great rapport. He has an excellent knowledge concerning my health issueservices. I am very happy to have him as my doctor.

Feb 23, 2017

i have been seeing trish for many years now. she is very knowledgeable and caring.

Feb 17, 2017

If you are LGBTQ and need medical care, this is the place. It is an island of inclusion and friendliness in a very LGBTQ unfriendly county. My former physician discriminated against me (whole other story) and my insurance provider recommended Circle, and have been seeing Dr. Rubin since then. I actually look forward to my visits and everyone in the office from the receptionists to the nurses and the doctors are very warm and welcoming.

Feb 9, 2017

I followed my doctor when he joined Circle Care. And while he still gives me the same excellent standard of care, you have a lot of administrative kinks to work out. It took 3-4 weeks to get vetted and set my initial appointment. Then, when I arrived for that appointment, you had no record of it. At that appointment, the doctor requested some tests which were not correctly forwarded to the lab - the typical and most important (to me) tests were omitted. He made it right by doing the blood work at the follow-up, but you absolutely have to improve communication before I am fully confident to recommend your practice.

Feb 2, 2017

Doctor was prompt, compassionate and eager to solve medical issues. Staff was helpful, kind and welcoming.

Jan 31, 2017

There is a very conscientious and reliable staff.

Jan 31, 2017

Seriously, the best, most efficient, and good natured pharmacy staff I've ever had the pleasure to work with, and at the age of 61, I've been to a lot of pharmacies.

Jan 31, 2017

staff very polite always received excellent service from the drs and staff

Jan 31, 2017

I LOVE and adore the concept & professionalism , yet comfortable & CONFIDENTIAL treatment.
