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.

Dr Velasco

from William in TX • February 12, 2024
After a carotid procedure and realizing that I needed a PCP, I asked Dr Velasco to be my internist in the program. She has turned my hypertension, cholesterol, triglycerides and pre diabetes to normalcy. Thorough ,

A Different Kind of Doctor

from Dixie in TX • February 11, 2024
Maria Velasco is tender-hearted but can be brutally honest when necessary. My husband and I have been with her before MDVIP. She was mostly available but sometimes a bit slow on refills. Of course was that Dr. Velasco or HEB?? I admire her professionalism. Keeping the same staff, of course, is indicative of her standards. Her staff “follows their leader” and Maria is definitely that.

The Only Doctor I Will Ever Need

Dr Velasco is the only doctor in my 30 years who has taken the time to help me period. Most doctors see you for a few minutes and say a few thing's and out the door. Dr Velasco is the only doctor and I say this from the heart. She is the only doctor that has helped me shed pounds and start to care about my health. That is saying a lot for this man.
Although I have a long way to go Read more...

Thank you, Dr. Maria Velasco

from Peggy in TX • March 26, 2023
When I moved to Victoria, I wanted to find a family internist who was both experienced and young enough to have knowledge of the latest medical advances. I wanted a doctor who could see me through my advancing years. Dr. Maria Velasco’s name kept coming up, and even other medical professionals were recommending her as a top choice, many were using her themselves. I was blessed when she accepted Read more...
