What our 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…

I have been a patient of Dr Holgerson for about 45 years. We have stayed focused on healthful living for the present as well as for future years. I appreciate his listening and his attention to my goals. I am a hearty 73 year old and attribute my good health to Dr Holgerson’s guidance. And support.

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.
