Meet Dr. Erin Kunkel
Dr. Erin Kunkel received her medical degree from Brown University and completed her OB/GYN residency at Pennsylvania Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. She spent more than seven years practicing general obstetrics and gynecology in Rhode Island.
Throughout her career, she developed a particular passion for helping women navigate perimenopause, menopause and the transitions of midlife.

Hear From Dr. Kunkel
Learn why Dr. Kunkel created a different kind of women's health practice, and how her approach gives patients more time, accessibility and personalized care.

"During my years in practice, it became abundantly clear that women needed a more comprehensive and holistic approach to their health, as not only do our bodies change, but our minds and our emotional landscapes shift in response to the unique demands of midlife."
"Dr. Kunkel is absolutely amazing and after being a patient of hers for 5 years, and having a GREAT relationship, following her to Direct Doctors was a no brainer! This model of healthcare is new to me and I absolutely love it! I love that I can reach out with any questions or needs at most (reasonable) times, via a few avenues of communication, and receive a very timely response. The facility itself is welcoming and beautiful. At my first appointment there, a month ago, I literally felt like I was sitting chatting with a good friend - it felt far less “medical”, and for this patient who sometimes deals with medical phobia, this is perfect!" - Rachel, current patient ​
