Meet Maria C. Velasco, MD, FACP


As the first MDVIP-affiliate in Victoria, Texas, I believe that I am improving the healthcare experience. I will provide personalized, compassionate, comprehensive health care with a focus on wellness and prevention. I will continue to treat acute and chronic medical conditions with the goal of disease prevention and healthy lifestyle management. My MDVIP-affiliated practice, often compared to a concierge medicine practice, offers conveniences like same- or next-day appointments. We can spend ample time discussing your health issues and analyzing test results to formulate a plan that will suit your needs. 

As a board-certified internal medicine physician, my interests include obesity management, women’s health, heart disease, hypertension, diabetes and lifestyle management. I look forward to building a long-term relationship with all my patients and helping them live a fruitful, active and happy life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Doctors who operate in the MDVIP models typically see far fewer patients than traditional primary care doctors. That gives them more time to develop deeper doctor-patient relationships that can lead to better outcomes. They can also offer conveniences that most primary care doctors can’t, including same- and next-day appointments. They’re available after hours for urgent matters. And they have time to focus on prevention. That focus begins with the MDVIP Wellness Program, which patients pay for with their annual membership fee.

Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.

MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.
