About Maria A. Soriano-Pisaturo, MD
I find that, too often, our health becomes an afterthought as we build careers, raise children and navigate the complexities of caring for aging parents. I believe that your healthcare should be as purposeful as the life you lead. I am a primary care physician specializing in internal medicine with an additional interest in lifestyle medicine. I work with patients throughout Rhode Island—including East Providence, Providence, Barrington, Bristol, Warren, Portsmouth and Middletown—as well as neighborhoods in Southeastern Massachusetts. I am credentialed at The Miriam Hospital.
My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. The MDVIP model of care allows me what I think are the most valuable tools in medicine: more time and personalized care. We can use that time to have deeper conversations, review test results and build a wellness roadmap that honors your goals—whether that might be maintaining independence as you age, traveling the world, or being a healthier, present force for your children and grandchildren.
In my view, wellness is built on six foundational principles that may appear simple in theory but can often be difficult to master in our modern world:
- FOOD: Nourishment through minimally processed food.
- FITNESS: Building strength and functional vitality for an active life.
- FAMILY: Prioritizing and nurturing the relationships that sustain us.
- FOCUS: Working to achieve mental clarity through restorative sleep and mindful stress management.
- FULFILLMENT: Rooting daily actions in a sense of purpose and meaning.
- GRATITUDE: A daily practice that can help transform how we experience our health and our lives.
If you are looking for a primary care physician who views you as a partner rather than just a patient, I invite you to join my MDVIP-affiliated practice. We can work together so that health is not an afterthought, but a foundation upon which you can pursue building a life well-lived.

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.
