My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...

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. 

As an internist with Nuvance Health since 2015, I am honored to serve Southbury and surrounding communities in Connecticut.

from Jim in CT March 31, 2024 for Matthew Velsmid, MD

I was referred to Dr. Velsmed many years ago and it was the best thing I ever did. Doc is a very patient oriented person who truly cares about his patients. I have been through some difficult times over the past 2 years and Doc was always there to support me. He is truly the best

from Phyllis in CT March 17, 2024 for Matthew Velsmid, MD

From my very first visit to Dr. Velsmid in January of 2017, one month after my husband ad passed away, I knew I had found all the qualities I was looking for in a Dr. I'd retired 6 months earlier, within days my husband was diagnosed with terminal cancer, and my longtime Dr was retiring. A friend gave me Dr Velsmid's name. He was kind, an excellent listener, and willing to discuss any medical… See more

from Carmen M in CT March 11, 2024 for Matthew Velsmid, MD

Years ago I was a patient of Dr. Veldsmid when he was in Middlebury. He talked me into having gastric bypass surgery. I was afraid to do it but I believed he knew best, so I did it. I think that saved my life. Then he moved out of Middlebury and I did not follow him because I thought he went to Danbury and that was too far to travel. I finally found out he was in Southbury and off I went to… See more

from Holly in CT March 10, 2024 for Matthew Velsmid, MD

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.… See more

I have trusted Dr. Matthiew Velsmid with my health direction for several years and since we converted to MDVIP, the experience has been even better. Dr V has more time to devote to my personal well being, resulting in a more positive relationship, more informed decisions and the knowledge that he takes the time to listen and propose healthy directions. I am enjoying my time on the tennis court… See more

from Marianne in CT January 19, 2024 for Matthew Velsmid, MD

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… See more
