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.

Dr. Boulware is an excellent doctor and pays close attention to my health conditions. He is thorough in his exams and explains everything in a manner that I can understand. I am very pleased with his attentiveness to testing and providing results quickly. He is extremely busy but never hesitates to see me when I call outside of scheduled appts. The staff are excellent and welcoming when I arrive and I never feel like "just another patient" My entire family is a member of the practice and will continue to be.

Good day Dr. Boulware, Because of you I can walk three to four miles in my part-time job and climb halfway up Pressley mine mountain where digging for sapphires has proven rewarding and provides good upper body exercise. A recent trip to Tucson, Arizona, for the world's largest Mineral, Gem, Fossil, and Jewelry Best Show highlighted my stamina and motivation. Having parked my rented vehicle in an isolated area distant from the show's interest and the fact that darkness and the end of the show coincided, finding my car became a challenge. After several hours of walking with three hours of sleep the night before, and walking several times past a group of loiters on a dark street corner, I was able to locate my car. I walked a total of five and one-half miles that day with only part of a root beer float for nourishment. Thanks Dr. Boulware for providing me with the extraordinary stamina and motivation to complete the day of February 10, 2025, in a successful manner.

I would like to thank Dr. Boulware for being an outstanding and caring physician. I have been his patient for 30 years. He has always had time to tend to my concerns.
I can’t think of having any other primary care doctor other than Dr. Boulware!
I spent about two years abroad. However, I would fly back to The States to have my yearly physicals with Dr. Boulware. That is how much I trust him and value his expertise.
Sincerely,

Dr. Boulware along with his staff are exception in the medical field. They feel like family and take time with you. They never make you feel rushed. Dr Boulware goes over every detail of my health and is genuinely wanting to help me get and stay healthy. He stays in touch with my other doctors and what they are doing and putting in their notes. This includes my orthodontists, my optometrist, my dermatologist, and dentist. He is a great internist and keeps up to date on new medical information. I feel completely safe and comfortable under his care. He is a caring doctor and has always been there for me these past 30 years.

I can not believe Mr. Boulware is a concierge doctor. I had THE best doctor MDVIP has ever employed in VA. When my husband and I moved to SC we kept him until he retired then switched to Wm. Boulware. It did not work out for several reasons and we were not happy with the practice. I finally found a wonderful doctor in Laurinburg and JUST found out I have had a very serious disease that has been detected in my blood work for two YEARS now, DURING my time with Boulware and having complete physical exams with extensive bloodwork. There is NO excuse.

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.

Dedicated to his patients

from George in SC • March 11, 2024
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 Read more...

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 Read more...
