Meet Matthew Velsmid, MD


As a Nuvance Health doctor, I provide compassionate, personalized primary care. I will deliver holistic, patient-centered care where we look at the full picture of your health. You are an individual with purpose, potential, a family and a story to tell. I will recognize there is far more right with you than wrong and will listen to your story so I can guide you on your path to better health. With over two decades of experience as a physician, I look forward to partnering with you without judgement to help you achieve your goals, whether it is walking a few steps, running a marathon, managing a chronic illness or reducing the use of medications.

My primary care practice is designed to offer a personalized, preventive approach to your care, and the annual MDVIP Wellness Program offers comprehensive advanced screenings focused on key areas of health. Similar to concierge medicine practices, I also offer conveniences like same- or next-day appointments. And if we need help, I will collaborate with a familiar network of specialist colleagues. I am certified to perform DOT physicals.

As an internist with Nuvance Health since 2015, I am honored to serve patients from Litchfield, Middlebury, Newtown, Woodbury, Southbury and surrounding communities in Connecticut.

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.

Testimonials from patients of Matthew Velsmid, MD

Showing you really care.

from Holly in CT • March 10, 2024
When my husband passed away eight years ago I had an appointment with my doctor shortly thereafter. When he was questioning me about it I couldn’t answer because I would cry so I just shook my head yes or no to his questions. Even with doing that, a tear slid down my cheek anyway. He wanted me to go for grief counselling, but I just shook my head no because I really didn’t believe in that. Then Read more...

Thank you for Dr. Matthew Velsmid

from Marianne in CT • January 19, 2024
Two weeks after joining MDVIP, my husband encountered a medical emergency. My husband called me several times asking me the same question over again and again. I was just passing the doctors office and I ran inside to speak to Dr. Velsmid. He had my daughter in-law bring my husband to the office to evaluate him. I was terrified. The office staff, Aivee and Traci were so supportive and helpful. Read more...
