Meet Kristine Mortel, MD
As a primary care physician, I strive to foster a partnership with my patients built on mutual trust and respect, open and honest communication, shared goals and approaches to decision-making. With each visit, I aim for my patients to feel heard and listened-to; I want to help empower them to take an active role in their health and healthcare choices.
I think preventive and wellness goals are the foundations of good health. As such, my MDVIP-affiliated practice emphasizes these and also offers the annual MDVIP Wellness Program, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices.
I believe that, while prevention is key, it is also important to discuss diseases that may have already set in to help patients as they work toward preserving their quality of life. My training and years of practice as a geriatrician in both inpatient and outpatient settings aid me in helping my patients as they approach acute and chronic compound illnesses or impairments, as well as the many psychosocial complexities that may occur with age.
My practice serves towns in Eastern Rhode Island and neighboring areas.

Frequently Asked Questions
Doctors who operate in the MDVIP models typically see far fewer patients than traditional primary care doctors. That gives them more time to develop deeper doctor-patient relationships that can lead to better outcomes. They can also offer conveniences that most primary care doctors can’t, including same- and next-day appointments. They’re available after hours for urgent matters. And they have time to focus on prevention. That focus begins with the MDVIP Wellness Program, which patients pay for with their annual membership fee.
Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.
MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.
