Welcome to the Rhode Island forum!

Welcome to the Rhode Island forum! From Providence and Pawtucket to South County and island communities, this space is for general health education. Seasonal allergies, outdoor bite prevention, skin concerns, and medication planning for travel are useful topics to discuss.

Rhode Island’s medical board recognizes telemedicine as a tool for care while emphasizing the clinical relationship and patient safety. A visit needs an adequate evaluation, not just a medication request. Local examination or testing may be necessary when a concern cannot be safely assessed remotely.

SelfPayMD offers cash-pay online medical visits for appropriate concerns. For personal care, Book Appointment Now at SelfPayMD.com; availability depends on your location and the service requested.
