More room to talk
Thoughtful visits for prevention, new concerns, and the health questions that do not fit neatly into a rushed appointment.
For Rhode Island adults
Concierge medicine in Rhode Island, with a more direct approach.
If you are looking for more time, a more personal primary care relationship, and clearer access to your provider, Weatherly offers a membership-based direct primary care practice in Wakefield.
A personal care relationship
Looking for concierge care often means looking for care that has room for you.
People search for concierge medicine for understandable reasons. They want a provider who knows their history, enough time to discuss a concern without feeling hurried, and a clearer way to get help between appointments. They may be tired of repeating their story, waiting weeks for a routine visit, or wondering where to start when a new health question comes up.
Weatherly Direct Primary Care is built around that same desire for a more connected primary care relationship. It is not a traditional concierge model. It is direct primary care: you pay a clear monthly membership directly to the practice for the primary care it provides, and Weatherly does not bill insurance for office care. That creates a straightforward relationship between you and the provider responsible for your everyday care.

Direct access to Sarah McGinley, MSN, APRN, FNP-C, and a practice that gets to know your goals over time.

A simple membership for office care, without copays or surprise bills from Weatherly.
Direct primary care, explained
What makes Weatherly different from many concierge practices?
Concierge medicine can mean different things at different practices. Some charge a membership or annual retainer while also billing insurance for office visits. Others offer a highly specialized or virtual service. The details matter, especially when you are trying to understand what you are paying for and how your insurance still fits into the picture.
Weatherly uses a direct primary care model. Your membership covers the primary care offered through the practice, including office visits and direct access to Sarah. The practice does not bill insurance for your office care. Instead of trying to sort out a copay or a separate bill after a visit, you know how Weatherly’s primary care is paid for from the start.
That does not mean you have to give up insurance. Most patients continue to use it for the services that happen outside Weatherly, such as specialist care, emergencies, hospital care, imaging, many labs, and prescriptions. The membership gives your everyday care a stable home, while insurance can continue to help with the larger parts of the healthcare system.

Primary care for the questions that shape your everyday life.
The value of a close primary care relationship is not limited to the day you are sick. It can be the chance to ask about a preventive screening before it gets put off again. It can be a conversation about sleep, stress, menopause, a changing medication, or a health goal that deserves more than a quick answer.
Weatherly supports the broad, practical work of primary care: annual wellness visits and physicals, help with common illnesses when clinically appropriate, ongoing care for chronic conditions, women’s health, telehealth follow-ups when they make sense, and coordination when you need care beyond the office. Sarah can help you understand the next step, prepare for a specialist visit, and keep the primary care relationship connected to the larger plan.
That continuity matters when your health needs change. You do not need to decide whether a question is important enough to bring up at a rushed visit. You have an established relationship with a provider who can see the whole picture and help you make a practical plan.

Who may appreciate a membership-based practice?
Weatherly can be a good fit for adults who want their primary care to feel less fragmented and more personal. Some patients join because they want more consistent support for a chronic condition such as high blood pressure, diabetes, asthma, thyroid disease, or heart disease. Others are generally healthy and want a dependable place for prevention, screening conversations, and timely guidance when a question arises.
It can also be a meaningful option during transitions: navigating menopause, starting a new medication, adjusting to a new diagnosis, caring for family members, or simply deciding that it is time to build a better relationship with a primary care provider. The practice welcomes patients ages 16 and older and serves Wakefield, South Kingstown, and nearby Rhode Island communities.
Weatherly is not meant to replace every part of the healthcare system. Specialists, emergency departments, hospitals, imaging centers, and other services have an important role. The goal is to give you a steady primary care relationship that can help you make sense of those moments and coordinate the next step when you need it.
Before you join
Four useful questions to bring to a meet-and-greet.
- What primary care needs are most important to you right now: prevention, a chronic condition, women’s health, or easier access when something comes up?
- What does your current insurance plan cover outside the primary care office, and do you need an in-network provider for specialist referrals?
- What would make you feel better supported by a primary care provider: more time, clearer communication, help coordinating care, or a more predictable monthly cost?
- What questions do you want answered before choosing a practice?
A complimentary meet-and-greet is a comfortable place to ask these questions directly. You can meet Sarah, discuss what the membership includes, and decide whether Weatherly’s approach fits your life. There is no need to arrive with a perfect list or make a decision during the conversation.
