What if your doctor truly knew you — remembered your name, had time to listen, and could be reached when you actually needed them?
That's Old School Medicine.
Our physicians left the hospital system to practice medicine the way it was always meant to be — personal, unhurried, and built around you. Don't let the name fool you. They've spent years managing complex, high-acuity cases and hold active privileges at South County Hospital and Westerly Hospital. When it matters most, they know exactly what to do.

Now they bring that experience into something far more intimate.
As a concierge practice, we offer:
🔵Unhurried appointments, no rushing
🔵Direct access when you need it
🔵Home visits for your convenience

We're based in Wakefield, Rhode Island, proudly joining the local Chamber, and currently accepting new patients.
Medicine rooted in trust, experience, and the belief that the doctor-patient relationship is sacred.

The Mental Health America organization shares practical tips for everyday self-care, including:

🩺 Remember, taking time for yourself helps you show up as your best self for those you care about—and for your health. Your health—both body and mind—matters to us. Sincerely, Dr. Sal and Dr. Pete

A screening is a tool that has been proven by research to help identify symptoms of a mental health disorder. MHA’s screening tools provide an anonymous, free and private way to learn about your mental health and if you are showing warning signs of a mental illness.
