Matthew, NP · Founder
Nurse Practitioner/Founder

Matthew Simone, FNP-BC

I started Homesteady Health because of my own frustrations getting care and working in the current industrialized healthcare system. I wanted to be able to offer more to my patients without the time restraints and the profit-over-patient care mentality of corporate medicine. With direct primary care, I can provide the time and accessibility that my patients deserve.

Business

I have practiced in healthcare for over 25 years, the last 19 of which have been as a Nurse Practitioner. Family Practice trained, I have had the privilege of caring for patients in the Alaskan bush, as well as in Trauma, Urgent Care and the Emergency Room in fast-paced urban environments.  Most recently I have practiced in Urgent Care as I helped set up and lead multiple urgent cares in the Philadelphia area and locally. I have also served in leadership roles on multiple boards and committees inside and outside the medical field throughout my career.  I am currently the President for Region 2 of the Nurse Practitioner Association of New York.

Pleasure

I enjoy spending time with my family, especially goofing off with my daughters. I refresh by spending as much time as possible in the wilderness of the Finger Lakes region. Hunting. Fishing. Hiking. Exploring a creek bed. I relax by boating on Cayuga Lake with my family as the sun goes down. I tune in by taking in the local music scene – whether that’s a late night at Grassroots or an intimate evening at a local farm. I meditate while growing my own food and tending to my chickens. I stay fit through running, grappling and mixed martial arts.

Your provider

Matthew built the practice he wished existed.

He founded Homesteady Health to practice medicine without the clock and the profit-over-patient mindset of corporate care — so he can treat you by name, not by a chart.

He’s a Certified Hormone Therapist through the Academy For Advanced Women’s Health Medicine, providing expert testosterone and hormone replacement therapy alongside full primary care. Across more than 25 years, he’s practiced family medicine in the Alaskan bush, worked trauma and the ER in Philadelphia, and built urgent-care clinics there — and today he is president of Region 2 of the Nurse Practitioner Association of New York, which named him NP of the Year in 2025.

Matthew lives the active Finger Lakes lifestyle — running, grappling, basketball, and coaching, plus hunting, fishing, and time on Cayuga Lake. He understands the active life his patients live, because he lives it too.

“My initial visit with Matt was a dream. We spent over an hour talking, and by the end I had a clear plan on what to do next.”
