Direct Doctors

Direct Doctors Membership based primary care at affordable rates - unlimited access, convenient scheduling, and text your doctor directly! This is our goal.

Come find out the Direct Doctors difference!! We want to bring back the good old days when the doctor visited knew every member of your family, took time to listen to your stories and concerns, and treated you with compassion and care. To accomplish this, we provide a wide range of personalized services. Our plans offer home visits and all of our plans offer social visits and care coordination dur

ing or after a hospital stay. By keeping our practice small, you will always be able to see your doctor or one of your doctor's partners. We do not use an answering service of outside doctors who don't have access to your record and don't know who you are. By getting you in the same day if you need it, you can avoid going unnecessarily to the urgent care, minute clinics, and the emergency room and seeing a provider who doesn't know you. We can help guide you to appropriate specialists when needed but will make every effort to manage your complaints in our primary care office setting. You will be able to see your primary care doctor when you want. You can contact your doctor by cell phone, email, or text messaging. Instead of the usual 7-10 minutes with the doctor, you will choose 30 or 60 minute visits that you can schedule yourself online the same day or whenever it fits your schedule. You can visit, call, or message with the doctor as many times in a year as you need. This means, if your health requires five visits in a week, you can do it! You will only ever be charged one low monthly flat rate fee and a specific price on additional services at-cost. There are no hidden fees or confusing bills. We don't make money by providing you additional services. This helps ensure you only get the procedures and care that you need and want - not what we can bill for as in the typical insurance fee-for-service model. If you have insurance, we will never bill your insurance for our included services. And, for services we don't provide, we will help you to find low cost options and preferred specialists who either take your insurance or bill you a transparent fee. We designed this practice for you! It is a product of years of living in New England, hearing what family and friends want and hope for from their doctor. As three Brown Family Medicine trained doctors, we've decided to challenge convention and bring you a new, different, and, we think, better kind of healthcare.

Menopause is common. Suffering through it shouldn’t be the expectation.

Somewhere along the way, women were taught to grit their teeth, push through the changes, and accept feeling unlike themselves as “just part of it.”

But common doesn’t mean something should be ignored.

Menopause deserves real conversations, thoughtful care, and the time to understand what’s happening in your body and what options may be right for you.

You don’t have to push through it.

If you’re looking for a doctor who has the time to listen, sign up with Direct Doctors and choose Dr. Erin Kunkel for your women’s health care.

🩺 Normal or Not Normal? Knowing the difference could make all the difference.

Not every ache, pain, or symptom is a cause for concern. But some symptoms shouldn't be ignored.

Mild muscle soreness after a workout? Usually expected.

Chest pain every time you walk upstairs? That's something you should have evaluated.

One of the most important parts of primary care isn't just treating illness. It's helping you understand what's normal for your body and recognizing when something may need medical attention.

If you're ever unsure, don't guess or spend hours searching online. Bring your questions to a doctor who knows your health history and can help you make informed decisions.

When it comes to your health, it's always better to ask than assume.

When was the last time your annual actually felt like a real conversation?

Women’s health is about so much more than a screening. Your annual is a chance to talk about your cycle, hormones, sleep, mood, sexual health, weight changes, and the questions you’ve been quietly saving for “another appointment.”

And you shouldn’t have to rush through any of it.

At Direct Doctors, there’s time to ask questions, look at the bigger picture, and feel genuinely heard.

Your annual shouldn’t feel like checking a box. It should feel like care.

Why Am I Gaining Weight?

Eating the same. Exercising the same. Still gaining weight?

You're not alone.

For many women, midlife weight gain is more complex than calories alone. Hormonal changes, metabolism, sleep, and stress can all play a role.

Watch Dr. Erin Kunkel explain why this happens and how personalized, evidence-based care can help you better understand what may be happening in your body.

You don't have to figure it out on your own. Sign up with Direct Doctors and start your care with Dr. Erin Kunkel for personalized support built around you and your health.

⌚ Your smartwatch can collect a lot of health data. But what does it actually mean?

Heart rate.
Sleep score.
ECG notifications.
Activity rings.
Step count.

These tools can provide valuable insights, but they don't tell the whole story.

A smartwatch is a great way to monitor your health, but it isn't a replacement for a conversation with your doctor. The numbers are most helpful when they're interpreted alongside your medical history, symptoms, medications, and overall health.

At Direct Doctors, we welcome wearable health data. Bring your questions, your trends, and your concerns. We'll help you understand what matters, what doesn't, and when it's time to take action.

Because better healthcare isn't just about having more data. It's about having the right context.

How long has your own health been sitting at the bottom of the list?

Summer gets busy. Life gets busy. And somehow, the questions about your sleep, hormones, cycle, weight, or simply not feeling quite like yourself keep getting pushed to another day.

Consider this your reminder to make room for yourself again.

With Dr. Erin Kunkel at Direct Doctors, women’s health, menopause, and metabolic health aren't squeezed into a rushed conversation. There’s time to talk about what’s changed, what’s bothering you, and what you want from your care.

Dr. Kunkel is now welcoming new members in East Greenwich.

Ten minutes isn’t enough time to feel heard, let alone truly cared for.

Women’s health conversations aren’t always simple. Sometimes you need time to ask the awkward question, explain what’s changed, or finally talk about the thing you’ve been putting off.

That’s what direct care makes room for: more time, real conversations, and a doctor who actually gets to know you.

Because feeling heard shouldn’t be the exception; it should be part of your care.

🩺 ONE MINUTE MEDICAL SCHOOL

Why does your doctor check your blood pressure at every visit?

Because high blood pressure is often called the "silent killer."

It usually doesn't cause symptoms until it has already begun affecting your heart, brain, kidneys, or blood vessels.

That quick check at the start of your appointment isn't just routine. It's one of the simplest and most effective ways to catch problems early, monitor changes over time, and help protect your long-term health.

At Direct Doctors, every measurement has a purpose, and every appointment is an opportunity to keep you healthier for longer.
