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.

Sometimes mood improves when sleep improves.

Hot flashes and night sweats do more than interrupt sleep. Over time, poor sleep can affect mood, anxiety, focus, motivation, and emotional resilience.

Sometimes the first step is not an antidepressant.
Sometimes it is finally getting restorative sleep again.

Your symptoms still matter.

You can be struggling even if you do not meet every formal diagnostic criteria.

Feeling exhausted, emotionally overwhelmed, anxious, irritable, disconnected, or unlike yourself does not suddenly become “not real” because a checklist says otherwise.

Women deserve support before things become unbearable.

Share this with someone who may need the reminder.

Join Dr. Erin Kunkel on June 16 at 6 PM at the East Greenwich Free Library for a discussion on women’s hormones, midlife weight gain, perimenopause, and menopause.

Many women spend years wondering why they suddenly feel different. Sleep changes. Mood shifts. Brain fog. Weight changes. Low energy. Hormones can play a much bigger role than most people realize.

Come learn more in a supportive, evidence-based conversation led by one of Rhode Island’s Menopause Society Certified Practitioners.

If your doctor dismisses your symptoms, rushes your concerns, or makes you feel unheard… it may be time for a new doctor.

Good healthcare should feel collaborative, respectful, and supportive.

You deserve care that listens.

Why do I feel so unmotivated lately?

Dr. Erin Kunkel sits down with Dr. Sarah Quaratella to discuss dopamine, motivation, reward, and the cognitive changes many women experience during perimenopause.

Sometimes it is not laziness.
It is chemistry.

If this sounds familiar, save this reel and share it with someone who may need to hear it.

Perimenopause and menopause can affect far more than just your cycle.

For many women, this stage of life can bring intense mood changes, anxiety, depression, and emotional overwhelm that often go unrecognized or dismissed.

You are not “dramatic.”
You are not weak.
And you do not have to go through it alone.

If you or someone you love is struggling, please reach out for support. Conversations around women’s mental health matter.

Don’t wait until it gets worse.

The earlier you address changes in your body, the easier it is to manage them.

You don’t have to push through or figure it out alone.
