I feel about you, your staff and the MDVIP program.

Dr. Boulware I can't thank you enough for the care I have receive for over 20+ years in your practice. When I moved back to SC in 1993 I knew I needed an Internist. I talked with a number of my colleagues and you were highly recommended. Throughout the years you have helped me manage my blood pressure issues, thyroid, cholesterol, osteoarthritis, pre-diabetes, and seasonal allergy conjunctivitis. I knew with my fathers h/o Type II diabetes, CAD, stroke and renal insufficiency resulting in hemodialysis that I was on the track to probably manifesting with these problems myself. My weight gain over the years contributed heavily toward the worsening of my symptoms and definitely had a negative impact on my self esteem. It appeared I could do anything I wanted to do but losing weight was the low hanging fruit in my life. Now with MDVIP and the collaboration between you and I to improve my health and improve outcomes in my daily living I feel for the first time in a long time headed in the right direction. At 53 years of age, I haven't felt this good in a long time! My weight is down by 50+ pounds since January 2016 to now! I thank God for you and your commitment to medical excellence! You never gave up on me (I know that sounds funny/weird) but you did not push me but gently nudged me forward to taking baby steps to address my health and begin a journey to healthy living from here on. So on this special day to celebrate doctors, I really want you to know how I feel about you, your staff and the MDVIP program. I pray you enjoy this day!
