We feel very fortunate to have Dr. Holgerson as our primary care physician for over 30 years. He has always been thorough in his examinations, compassionate when dealing with stressful health situations and responsive no matter the time of day or day of week. We could not be happier to be able to give testimony to a very well deserving doctor.

Dr. William Holgerson, M.D. has been my Primary Care Physician for the past 30+ years and it's no coincidence that at age 70 I'm still in good health.

In the 35 years that Dr. Holgerson has been my physician he has practiced the balance of what a patient wants and what a patient needs. He always listens to my concerns and has always been there for me. Dr. Holgerson is extremely hard working, intuitive, kind, patient and is fulfilling a life long commitment to taking care of others. I am extremely grateful he is my physician.
Dr. Holgerson has provided tests, prescribed medications, and suggested behavioral changes that have kept me healthy. His listening to my problems is careful and relaxed. And he assured me or sends me on to specialists. I have history of early death in family from heart disease. He’s kept me alive and healthy. Thank you, Dr. Holgerson.

Both my spouse and I are patients of Dr. Holgerson. He is a knowledgable, thoughtful, and caring practitioner. We value our relationship with him and his staff enormously.
Dr. Holgerson is an excellent doctor with a straightforward approach to health care. He tells it like it is, but with thoughtful compassion. He is very responsive, intuitive and approachable. I am lucky to have found him.
I would highly recommend him to anyone !!
Bill,
You are THE BEST ! We've known each other since those days in CCU: you as a resident and me as cardiac nurse. That was just yesterday, wasn't it??
Your private practice has evolved into a wonderful experience for your patients. We all know we are getting the very best care.
Thank you for always being there for me.
