Cross Posted - Finding Provider in S.E. Massachusetts/Rhode Island

Hello,

I'm cross posting this to a few communities.  I have just received an email from my PCP in Boston stating that she will need to
refer me to a different doctor because she feels that money grows on trees and therefore, I should go in to see her at least once a year.  Additionally, I am a broke AND unemployed college student living in south eastern Massachusetts and Providence isn't very close so I have not considered taking the train to Boston from there.  To be more clear, traveling to Providence would be easy but dishing out an additional price for a train ticket (and subway/taxi fares/bus tickets) would be problematic.  I was doing some research to see if I could find a physician for hormones in Rhode Island that I could just drive to, simply a way to get from A to B, without having to take various different modes of transportation to get to where I want to go. 

Understandably, I could just drive to Boston, but that is almost 2 hours away and equally expensive than train/subway/bus/taxi, as far as the price of gas goes. 

Tvox did not show any physicians in Rhode Island or near southeastern MA.

My next step was to come on here and see if, by any chance, I would have more luck asking this community if anyone has any suggestions or experience with providers in Rhode Island or closer to southeastern Massachusetts.  I strongly do believe that there are lots of other providers out there that Tvox has not added to their site.
