About Rhode Island Wellness Clinic

What is Rhode Island Wellness Clinic?

Rhode Island Wellness Clinic is a primary care practice at 24 Salt Pond Road, Suite B1, in Wakefield, Rhode Island. Primary care is what it mainly does. Its listed services include annual physical exams, preventive care, chronic condition management, care for acute illness, and medical weight loss and hormone replacement therapy for men and women.

Four clinicians are named as prescribers: Dmitry Drozhzhin, DO, MD; Vazgen Martirosian, MD; Neima Hadi, MD; and Beverly Casinelli, NP. For weight loss, the clinic names tirzepatide, semaglutide, oral semaglutide and liraglutide. Its hormone therapy page describes estrogen therapy and testosterone therapy as options, chosen after lab work and an evaluation. Telehealth visits are offered, though the clinic describes them for established patients. Google lists the clinic at 5 stars from 34 reviews. It is open weekdays only and serves Wakefield, South Kingstown, Narragansett, North Kingstown and the rest of South County.

In its own words: "Our practice in Wakefield, Rhode Island is smaller than most primary care facilities, allowing our board-certified physicians to dedicate more time to each patient and provide personalized, attentive care."

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices, a consultation fee, or a price for its weight loss or hormone programs. It does not say whether medication is included in any price. It says it accepts most major health insurance plans, but it does not name them. Telehealth pricing is not stated either. Ask for a written quote before you book.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which of the four prescribers will write your prescription and whether that same person will see you for follow-up. Ask whether any monthly fee includes the medication, and what the medication costs on top of the fee if it does not. Ask whether the medication is the brand-name product or a compounded version, and what the pharmacy charges for it.

Ask what lab work and follow-up visits cost, since the hormone therapy page describes regular lab checks. Ask which insurance plans are accepted and whether your plan covers the weight loss medication or only the visit. Ask which states telehealth covers and whether a new patient can start by video. Ask how to cancel and whether any program requires a commitment. Finally, ask which phone number reaches scheduling, because the clinic lists both (401) 642-4051 and 401.996.7879.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a primary care practice in Wakefield that also offers medical weight loss or hormone therapy, and you are prepared to pay for a visit or medication your insurance may not cover. If you need a price before you commit, call and ask for it in writing before you schedule.
