What is a Patient-Centered Medical Home?


A Patient-Centered Medical Home is an innovative team-based approach which facilitates the partnership between patients and their physicians. We believe that every patient deserves a Medical Home where health care is accessible, continuous, comprehensive, patient-centered, coordinated, compassionate, and culturally effective. Together, following evidence-based guidelines for medical care, our team will work to provide the best health care services possible for you. We are committed to providing our patients with the highest quality health care. We have been recognized by NCQA as a Level 3 PCMH, the highest level possible.

How can I contact my Medical Home Team?


For routine matters such as refills, referrals or scheduling and re-scheduling appointments, our office telephone hours are 7am to 2pm Monday through Friday. You may also send non-urgent messages, view lab results and medical records or request referrals and refills 24 hours a day via the Patient Portal. We will respond to requests sent through the Patient Portal within 48 hours.


For urgent matters after-hours, there is always an on-call physician available at (401) 272-3410. Please leave a voicemail message for the on-call physician and he will respond within 1 hour. 

For emergencies, always dial 911.
