Kathleen Jeannot, MD — Circle Medical

Tell us what makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider. I love to know that I'm helping someone become a productive member of society thereby allowing them to fulfill their dreams. Without your health none of your dreams can be realized. 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 physician's role is to prevent chronic diseases, manage acute conditions, and provide early detection for malignancies. Most patients are not aware of how certain daily habits can affect their physical and mental health. My role is to identify the factors that could lead to a deterioration in a person's health. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? During my spare time I love to travel the world and experience different cultures. I enjoy playing tennis and singing in a choir.
