Direct primary care (DPC) brings back the simple and direct relationship between the primary care doctor and the patient. Instead of billing insurance companies for your medical care (which requires doctors to abide by many insurance regulations that are not necessarily in your best interest clinically), instead patients pay a monthly membership fee that makes sure their dollars are being spent directly on their own health. The DPC model gives patients access to their provider, discounted prices for lab and medication, extended office visits, and direct communication via email, text or phone.

No, a direct primary care membership is a different way to pay for comprehensive primary care services and allows for relaxed, extended visits in a relationship-based practice rather than a production-based practice. We can focus on caring for you and your family rather than dealing with expensive and frustrating insurance regulations.

Everyone! Dr. Fredette sees all ages from newborn to lastest years. The beauty of training as a physician in family medicine is to be able to provide care for all aspects and stages of life.

It's easy to communicate with your team and doctor: You can email, text, or call. You will have a direct phone number to call or text us during working hours. For patient account management, you will have the ability to check accounts through the patient portal. During office hours, Dr. Fredette may be with a patient, but she or your care team will check messages several times a day. Of course, if it’s a medical emergency, we recommend going to the emergency room for evaluation and treatment.

Yes. Many types of visits have the option to choose a telemedicine appointment. Telemedicine is a great way to provide convenient access to our patients! We do request that your initial appointment with us is in person, unless circumstances prohibit that. In that case, we would attempt to schedule you for at least your 2nd followup appt to be in person.

Unfortunately we are unable to provide prenatal and delivery services at this time.

But, we have some good news.

First, Dr. Fredette can still provide pre-conception counseling, confirm your pregnancy and provide the initial diagnosis visit, including ordering the prenatal labs and ultrasound that would be forwarded to your prenatal provider. She is knowledgable about common medical problems that arise during pregnancy, and address common postnatal issues related to breastfeeding, pelvic and back pain, diabetes management, and more. She cared for pregnant women and delivered babies for many years, so she still enjoys the overlap where general family medicine steps in to support you during your pregnancy, before, and beyond.

We love newborns! Starting day 1 of home care, we can help take care of your baby. Well child checks (including infant exams) are included with your child’s membership, and it’s easy to add your new baby to your membership either as an individual child or as part of one of our family plans. When possible, we offer home visit options for new moms to have their infants seen at home. We are easy to get ahold of for answering those important questions that come up often in the first few weeks of life.
