About Rochelle Collins, DO, FAAFP
My goal as your personal primary care doctor is to partner with you as you pursue your wellness goals. Whether you’re looking to improve fitness, adopt healthier eating habits, establish self-care routines or review chronic conditions, I can work with you to create a tailored wellness plan that can help address your unique health needs.
Through my MDVIP-affiliated practice, I am committed to delivering patient-centered healthcare that goes beyond a traditional medical practice. I believe in fostering strong relationships with my patients, and thanks to the MDVIP model, I have more time to spend listening to their medical histories, lifestyles and preferences. This approach helps me provide proactive, individualized care that can prioritize well-being. My special interests include discussing chronic disease and women’s health. My practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices.
A key benefit of my practice is the ability to spend more time with my patients, which helps me gain more awareness of their health concerns. Because my practice size is smaller, I can offer more time and attention that I believe they deserve. Whether it's same-day or next-day appointments, the comprehensive annual MDVIP Wellness Program or round-the-clock reachability for more urgent needs, my goal is to provide peace of mind and individualized care. This personalized attention enables me to focus not only on reviewing illness but also promoting preventive health measures.
I believe my mission is to help patients as they pursue leading healthier, more fulfilling lives, which is why I offer a more personalized and proactive approach to primary care. I provide services to patients in the Avon, West Hartford, Simsbury, Greater Hartford and surrounding Connecticut areas.

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.
