About Raymond J. Matta, MD

I have been a primary care doctor in the Manhattan area for more than 40 years. I have more time to listen and help discuss what matters to you. I believe that the job of a doctor is twofold: TO CARE and TO SERVE. I care about patients holistically, including their physical, mental and social well-being. I serve by providing wellness strategies, reviewing acute and chronic medical conditions.

Because my practice is smaller in size, our appointments can take as long as needed. If you are sick or concerned, it allows for same- or next-day appointments and phone calls answered by my staff and messages promptly directed to me as needed. My patients can even call me after hours or when traveling.

I offer the annual MDVIP Wellness Program. It includes a series of advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests that have been shown to help identify certain risk markers. The lab findings and test results can help provide a deeper picture of your health, and with this information, we can work together to customize an action plan. I am here to help you as you work toward improved health and quality of life.

I can care for dependents aged 18-26 and offer 30-minute routine or sick visits.

I have been a patient of Dr. Matta for over 30 years. He has always been caring and a great diagnostic doctor. His respect at Mt Sinai Hospital is unbelievable.
I once had to be admitted to ER. I notified Dr. Matta and he immediately came to hospital and took charge of assuring I got right x rays and a more private place away from others at ER. One of the best attributes of doctor is the…

I am forever grateful to a friend, a well known surgeon, who referred me to Dr. Raymond Matta some 44 years ago. The first thing one notices as a patient who sees Dr. Matta for the first time is the fact that he is a healthy individual. Healthy in body and mind. He is already a role model for the patient. If I have not had any major health issues (I don’t consider kidney stones and hernias major…

Mary's eyes were not watchful enough if she is the same woman who served there 30 years ago. A cardiologist to my partner (male) I have a unique perspective of my own examination with Matta. Was /am I the only one who feels this way? A "me too" thing. It's good that he is leaving the business.

I cannot recommend Dr. Matta more highly. He is deeply knowledgeable, brings a wealth of experience to patient care, is a lovely warm related person, is connected to other great doctors for referrals, and is profoundly responsive in emergency situations. I feel extremely fortunate to have him for my doctor.

Dr. Matta has treated me and my family for almost 30 years. He is the kindest and most gentle doctor -- and always has time to listen, diagnose and give advice. He's also very smart. And up to date on the newest treatment options and protocols. I cannot recommend him more highly.

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.
