What Members Are Saying

I am 84 years old. Dr. Bill Holgerson has been my primary care physician since the mid 1990s. We are on a first-name basis, and I do not hesitate to call him my friend. From gall bladder surgery to a recent diagnosis of Meniere’s Disease, and the usual colds and viruses in between, Bill has always been there for me whether by office visit, telephone, or text with medical and psychological support. In a real sense, Bill has seen to it that my senior years are as healthy as possible. He is quick to send me for appropriate CT scans or colonoscopies or ECG’s as preventative or diagnostic tests, and monitors my blood work carefully. As a worrier, I rely on Bill to talk me down when my anxieties get the best of me. Bill is knowledgeable, open, friendly, and (important to me) available. I am extremely grateful for his care, friendship, and support for all these years.

Meet William B. Holgerson, MD

Wellness is an active process, unique to each individual. Personal wellness requires that we are aware of areas where we can improve our health and achieving wellness can only be accomplished by a partnership between patient and doctor where there is adequate time to identify areas for improvement and then monitoring for success.

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.

Testimonials from patients of William B. Holgerson, MD

I'm really not sure how to describe my relationship with Bill Holgerson.

from Judith in MA • February 6, 2014

I'm really not sure how to describe my relationship with Bill Holgerson. I mean, I know he's my primary care physician, but I keep forgetting that and thinking he's part of my family. I'm sure he finds this incredibly annoying, although he probably wouldn't be all that surprised if my husband and I showed up at his house for Thanksgiving some year. I know I should be Read more...

Dr. Holgerson has three important gifts that make him stand out: the ability to listen, the ability to make a real connection with his patients, and a great sense of humor.

from Elaine in MA • February 23, 2014

Dr. Holgerson has three important gifts that make him stand out: the ability to listen, the ability to make a real connection with his patients, and a great sense of humor. The office has a personality. The artwork, the books, and the staff create an environment that is warm and welcoming. I feel so incredibly fortunate to have myself and my family under Dr. Holgerson's care.

Many, many thanks.

from Ralph in MA • March 2, 2018

Many, many thanks. For all the many superlatives I might offer the best is probably the ease with which you can be communicated with.

In 1978 I was very lucky to be referred to Bill by my retiring family physician at MGH.

from Private in MA • February 6, 2014

In 1978 I was very lucky to be referred to Bill by my retiring family physician at MGH. 35 years later I look back and can honestly say that I can't imagine being in better hands. Although most of my medical needs have been routine, there have been a few issues over the years that were well outside the routine. Bill was incredibly focused, informative and supportive through the entire Read more...

from Dorothea in MA • March 4, 2014

Hi, I am in very good health and would like to keep it that way given good health is one of the most important things in life next to family and friends. When Dr. Holgerson joined MDVIP, my husband and I had to discuss justifying the expense to join MDVIP and here were our thoughts.
