FEATURED REVIEW

OVERVIEW

Dr. Matthew Velsmid, Board Certified Internal Medicine physician, offers a different approach to primary care. He sees fewer patients, which means more time for each one. Patients appreciate same/next-day appointments that start on time and aren't rushed; plus they can usually reach him 24/7. His practice also offers other services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. Dr. Velsmid develops a personalized wellness plan based on the results of the wellness program. His MDVIP-affiliated practice is open to new patients.

MDVIP Benefits

The average doctor sees 18 patients a day, but some see many more. This is why it can be difficult to get an appointment and why visits are often short and generic. MDVIP-affiliated doctors have much smaller practices, seeing an average of 8 to 10 patients a day resulting in more time for you. This means:

  • You will get an appointment with your doctor the same or next day instead of waiting weeks, the average waiting time for an appointment at a traditional primary care practice.
  • Your appointments will start on time - you won’t be stuck in the lobby waiting an hour for your visit to begin.
  • You’ll see your doctor, not some other provider.
  • You’ll be able to reach your doctor after hours for urgent care needs.

When you see your doctor, you won’t be rushed out of the exam room. You’ll have time to talk about all your health concerns and get your questions answered. And your doctor will work with you one-on-one to help you stay well and prevent illness and chronic diseases.

"I have been with Dr. Velsmid for years and have never had anything but a very positive experience. He is a compassionate physician who takes his time and ensures he has addressed every concern. More importantly, he works with you to try and head off future health issues rather than just reacting to them. I would strongly recommend him to anyone looking for a primary care physician. "

"As always, Dr. Velsmid listened to everything I had to say, took his time with me and explained all my test results in easy to understand terms."

"Dr. Velsmid is a very knowledgeable and professional practitioner who is a credit to his profession. He is a compassionate and caring person who genuinely cares about his patients. I always feel listened to and respected in my interactions with him and, always relieved after meeting with him. Further, Dr. Velsmid’s office and nursing staff are all respectful, courteous and professional when interacting with his patients. Collectively, Dr. Velsmid and his staff make “being sick” a much easier experience than it could ever be."

"Find a doctor that is not OWNED by their group practice and truly cares about patients - you know, one who knows what critical thinking is - and doesn't read from a government script like an obedient sheep. "

"Miscoded visit. Nuvance health was completely unresponsive to feedback. Don’t recommend this group. Not customer centric"
  • February 23, 2021
"Dr Velsmid is the best. Pleasant and takes the time to listen. His office staff, however, has to be the most incompetent staff on the planet. I've tried for two days to get these idiots to call in a prescription and they haven’t. The on call is even worse if that’s possible. I would recommend Dr Velsmid but unfortunately the useless staff is who you deal with most of the tome"

Data Transparency and Trust: Understanding WebMD Doctor Listings and Reviews

We know that finding the right doctor or provider is important to your health. That’s why we want to ensure you have confidence in the provider profiles and listings you see on WebMD Care. Our provider data is sourced from the physicians themselves as well as publicly available databases. Any doctor or provider who claims their profile by verifying themselves can update their information and provide additional data on their specialties, education, accepted insurances, conditions they treat, and procedures they perform.

All the physician and provider reviews on WebMD Care are provided by users just like you. Knowing these reviews provide insight into how other patients feel about a doctor, we maintain internal policies and protocols to ensure the quality and accuracy of all reviews. Providers are not able to remove or modify reviews on their own. Reviews can only be removed after an internal review by our customer service team.

We value your input and encourage you to reach out to our support team if you encounter any issues.
