About
At Slower Medicine Direct Primary Care, Dr. Kenneth Stone delivers unhurried, relationship-driven internal medicine to adult patients across North Carolina. The practice runs fully virtually, with consultations by Zoom, telephone, and email. Dr. Stone partners with Erin Kosich, FNP in Durham for patients who need in-person physical exams, including basic well-woman care at no additional cost.
Dr. Stone built Slower Medicine around a single conviction: good medicine takes time. New patient visits routinely run two to three hours. He brings a functional and holistic lens to conventional internal medicine, drawing on his deep knowledge of supplements, nutrition science, and lifestyle factors. His clinical focus spans metabolic syndrome, thyroid management, chronic fatigue, cardiovascular health, longevity, and cancer prevention. Members reach Dr. Stone directly by phone or email, with same-day or next-day availability for urgent needs and 24/7 emergency phone access. He holds a client-billing arrangement with LabCorp to keep lab costs well below market rates, and members can purchase supplements at significant discounts through the Slower Medicine Fullscript store.
