Dr. Lauren Hedde, DO is Brown-trained physician and owner of Direct Doctors, an innovative family medicine practice in Wickford, RI offering patients an alternative to the typical primary care practice. She spends 30-60 minutes or more with her patients whenever they need to be seen. Patients never wait in the waiting room and they can reach her 24/7 via cell or email. She even does home visits! Through her model of Direct Primary Care, Dr. Hedde charges patients am affordable monthly subscription fee - much like a gym membership - for this concierge-level of care. Instead of copays and coinsurance, patients can use their insurance for ancillary services (labs, xrays, referrals, emergencies) and pay a predictable monthly fee for the services they use most (sick visits, physicals, wellness and prevention visits). This model of care is simple, clear and direct!
