I don't know why you're getting downvoted, you are correct. I used to work in that neighborhood and the traffic patterns are confusing. Where is the parking going to be? It's a bit of a food dessert I guess but it's not like TJ is accessible, or the people who live there don't have the resources to get to Stop and Shop.

You can call Brown Medicine and find out which of their doctors are taking new patients and at which locations, then read their bios and choose one. It may be a while until you have your first physical, but once you're on the books as a patient, you have access for sick visits and prescriptions if you need them.

It's not nearly as convenient from Providence as South Attleboro.

I am curious what train now makes no outbound stops from South Station until Attleboro?

It was about 90 min door-to-door as long as I took one of the trains that made fewer stops. The South Attleboro station is closed now, so from Providence you'd have to factor that in. Someone here mentioned the Acela from Providence. I never tried that but I know some people use it to commute

Do you by any chance work the same shifts and could drive together? Or drive part way then take public transportation the rest of the way? I realize you'd have to factor in the cost of gas.

I live in Providence and commuted to Cambridge for five years. I did it all different ways (Commuter Rail from South Attleboro, Commuter Rail from Westwood, T from Quincy, Carpool, Drive) but never started by train in Providence due to cost and lack of parking. It wasn't great, but the worst part was getting to Cambridge from South Station. When I started looking for other jobs, I didn't consider anything in Boston unless it was walking distance from South Station, Back Bay or Ruggles.

Have you considered changing jobs to any of the hospitals in Providence? It's not like we're in the back woods here. Home to Brown Med School and major teaching hospitals.
