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.

Many women are told just to tolerate perimenopause symptoms.

Brain fog.
Sleep disruption.
Weight changes.
Mood shifts.
Hot flashes.

But there are real medical options that most women never hear about because visits are too short.

At Direct Doctors, we make time for those conversations.

Feeling more anxious, irritable, or overwhelmed lately?

You’re not imagining it.

For many women, menopause hits at the exact same time life gets heavier. More responsibilities, more pressure, less capacity to cope.

Dr. Erin Kunkel breaks down why these mood changes feel so intense during this stage.

You’re not alone in this.

Some health journeys are visible. Others are deeply personal.

National Infertility Awareness Week is a time to acknowledge the strength it takes to keep hoping, keep searching for answers, and keep moving forward.

Compassionate care starts with listening.

The most important healthcare decisions are the ones made before you ever need them.

Today is a reminder to have the conversations that many people put off. Your future care should reflect your values, your priorities, and your voice.

Something many women are never told.

Menopause doesn’t just show up physically. It shows up in your mood, your sleep, your energy, and how you feel day to day.

In Episode 4 of The Middle of Everything, Dr. Erin Kunkel breaks down the real connection between hormones and mental health during the menopause transition.

Watch the full episode and understand what’s actually happening.

Many women delay their GYN visit for the same reasons:

They feel nervous.
They think they waited too long.
They worry they will be judged.

Here is the truth:

Good doctors do not judge. They focus on your health, your questions, and your comfort.

Preventive care is not about perfection. It is about showing up.

You are not just a set of vitals.

If your appointments focus only on numbers and prescriptions, something is missing.

Effective primary care looks at patterns. Stress. Mood. Habits. History. The parts that do not fit neatly into a checkbox.

That is what whole-person care actually means.
