About
Christopher Zabbo, DO co-owns Anderson Longevity Clinic Rhode Island with Michael Kelly, DO. He trained at the University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine, completed emergency medicine residency through Brown University / Hasbro Children's Hospital, and spent more than a decade in Rhode Island emergency departments before moving into anti-aging and longevity care. He is double board-certified through both the allopathic and osteopathic emergency medicine boards, and brings that acute-care diagnostic background to hormones, peptides, regenerative therapies, and prevention-focused medicine in Johnston.
What to Know
Signature approach
Zabbo's longevity style is evidence-minded and lab-first. The emergency medicine background gives him a fast pattern-recognition lens, but the clinic work slows that down into prevention: identify the biomarker drift, connect it to symptoms and risk, then choose hormone, peptide, regenerative, or lifestyle interventions that can be defended by the data. His role in Johnston is physician-owner, not visiting clinician.
What sets them apart
- Dual emergency boards. Board certification through both ABEM and AOBEM gives him rare credential depth for a longevity clinician.
- Brown/Rhode Island training path. His residency and ER career were rooted in the same region where he now practices.
- Owner-operator role. He helps direct the Johnston office, not just staff it.
- Academic/research engagement. A 2024 JACEP Open publication adds a peer-reviewed signal beyond clinic marketing.
Before You Book
- Care focus. Patients who want physician-led anti-aging care with an emergency-medicine diagnostic lens.
- Provider choice matters. Johnston has four clinicians; request Zabbo directly if his scope is why you are booking.
- In-person office. No standalone telehealth model is published for him.
- Self-pay. Plan for out-of-pocket visits, labs, and treatment.
