What Members Are Saying

I am comforted knowing that Dr. Boulware is reachable when I need him. My fear was getting to see a doctor in the time of a Heath crisis. Dr. Boulware has eased that fear. He takes the time to explain my health issues in a way that I can understand. Thanks.

Patient of William N. Boulware, MD, MACP

My wife has not been in the best of health after she had covid in August 2022. She was in the hospital for a number of days in ICU. Her request to me was, "I don't want to go on the vent". Most of the time she was out of it and all the Hospital doctors (it seemed like a new one every day) would come in and review her chart. Each time they asked if they could put her on the vent and I would say NO. They kept having her get a shot in the stomach to prevent blood clots. After 4 days of this, she started to bleed in her stomach and she actually looked like she was 8 months pregnant. I kept asking what was going on and they finally got a surgeon to look at her. He had to operate on her to save her life. Right after that, another hospital doctor came in and wanted to continue with the shots in her stomach and I said hell no. I had the surgeon take care of her after that. Right after she got out, I signed her up with Dr. William Boulware. My brother and his family and my sister and her family had been using Dr. William Boulware for years. He started doing things with her right away. Helping her get back on her feet. Then in December 2023 she had an infection in her lungs. She had been throwing up and having diarrhea for several days. It happened on a weekend and I did not realize I could have called him then and have her looked at. On a Monday morning at 4:30 AM I took her to the emergency room at our local hospital and upon arriving, informed them that she was a patient of Dr. Boulware. This was about 5:30AM that morning. 6:45 AM Dr. Steve Ross came in to her emergency room. He is the partner of Dr. Boulware. She was admitted at that time. Dr. Boulware came to see her every morning before 7 AM to check on her. He did this the entire time she was in the hospital for 9 days. If anything changed, the nurses would contact his office with different results. He had his own lung and kidney doctors come in and attend to her. After I saw all this, and how he worked, I decided to join the MDVIP club and asked that Dr. Boulware be my doctor. By the way, my wife is doing great now. I am old enough to remember when you went to the hospital, your personal doctor would come over every morning or evening and do rounds. This is no longer the way they do things. However, the MDVIP membership lets the doctor do this. Now when you go to the hospital, they let the hospital doctors take over. This is not good. They do not know you or anything about you. They come in and read your chart and for 5 minutes or so, they recommend things for you. Now that sucks. You cannot make a educated decision on me in that time. Some things don't need to change and a doctor/patient relationship should not change. I cannot say enough about this. Yes, it is a little expensive but what is your life worth to you. Having seen them in action was enough for me. You cannot bring in a new quarterback into the game for every play. That is what it is now. A quarterback like Dr. Boulware is a veteran and knows the plays and his patients much better than the hospital doctors do. I am not taking things away from them but for my money, it will be my MDVIP doctor. Thank you for allowing me to tell my story like this.

I knew my heart was doing something strange the night before. My annual wellness visit was scheduled for the next day and included an ECG. The technician realized something was wrong with my heart rhythm as well and went to tell Dr. Boulware without alarming me. He immediately put things in motion for him to do a stress test, put me on a blood thinner and a medication to slow my heart rate. He diagnosed me with atrial fibrillation. He then referred me to a cardiologist who then referred me to an electro physiologist who did further testing. All of this was done quickly and efficiently thanks to Dr. Boulware’s quick action. This happened nearly 3 years ago. I’m sure his quick intervention helped me avoid further cardiac problems. When I go for check ups now, most times my heart is in sinus rhythm the way it is suppose to be. Thank you Dr. Boulware!

Meet William N. Boulware, MD, MACP

As a board-certified specialist in internal medicine, I use all of my skills and 30 years of experience to best treat current health problems and prevent new ones with an emphasis on individualized primary care. I partner with my patients and care for them with compassion and concern, just as I would for a family member. Similar to concierge medicine practices, I also offer conveniences like same- or next-day appointments that start on time. I hope to keep you out of the hospital, but if you are hospitalized, I admit patients to McLeod Regional Medical Center and the Carolinas Hospital System and provide continuity of care.

My Florence, South Carolina office offers lab services, X-rays, EKGs, stress testing, bone density assessments, Holter monitoring, spirometry, peripheral vascular screening and vision and hearing screening. My practice serves the greater Florence area, including Darlington, Hartsville, Marion, Sumter, Dillon and Lake City. I encourage interested patients to call my office to set up an informal meeting to learn more about the advantages of personalized healthcare. I have been named to the list of Best Doctors in America® 2014.

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.
