About Carla Vaccaro, MD

I believe that practicing medicine is about building lasting relationships with my patients through compassion, connection and respect. Over the past 26 years as a family physician first in Massachusetts and then in Rhode Island, I have had the privilege of caring for individuals and families through every stage of life. I believe that one of the most important skills a physician can possess is the ability to truly listen. By listening and treating people with kindness, I feel I am better able to understand their concerns and provide personalized care. 

My personal style of doctoring is based on evidence-based medicine, years of experience and clinical judgment. I enjoy the challenge of problem-solving, especially when faced with complex medical issues that require more time and a personalized approach. I appreciate that, as your primary care doctor, I am in a unique position to help identify and encourage you to reach your health goals.

Above all, I see myself as an advocate for my patients. I believe individualized medical care should go beyond a diagnosis or disease—it means helping patients feel heard, respected and empowered to make informed decisions about their physical and mental health. In addition to acute and chronic medical illness, my clinical interests include cardiovascular care, women’s health, preventive medicine and ways to stay healthier as we age.

My MDVIP-affiliated practice in East Greenwich, RI, offers services, including comprehensive, advanced screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. As an independent doctor, I have more time to spend with patients at every visit. As a mother of three, I appreciate that life is busy, and my practice offers same-day and next-day appointments. 

My husband and I made our home in Rhode Island in 2011. It has been a privilege to be a community family physician in Rhode Island for the last 15 years, and I am honored to continue providing primary care within our communities.

I am affiliated with Newport Hospital, which is part of Brown University Health.

It would be my pleasure to work together on your journey towards health and wellness.

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.
