My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...

Wellness is an active process, unique to each individual. Personal wellness requires that we are aware of areas where we can improve our health and achieving wellness can only be accomplished by a partnership between patient and doctor where there is adequate time to identify areas for improvement and then monitoring for success.

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Holgerson

from Cheryl in FL March 1, 2018 for William B. Holgerson, MD

Twenty years ago Dr. Holgerson saved my life. I was having chest pain (not thinking it could be a heart issue) and he asked me several questions and based on my responses he had me go to Newton Wellesley Hospital where I was diagnosed with a 90 blocked LAD. Subsequent installation of a stent, regular check ups, and diet changed my history and extended my life, with great quality.

from John in MA February 28, 2018 for William B. Holgerson, MD

Dr. Holgerson has been my doctor for the past 5 years. He has a kind and friendly approach but talks directly about care. He is extremely knowledgeable and has an excellent manner of communicating on how to get and stay healthy. I feel fortunate to have him as my Doctor.

from Walter in ME February 28, 2018 for William B. Holgerson, MD

Bill is the best! Thorough, explains all in sufficient detail and treats me like a thinking human being. Has adapted quickly to new technologies and is on top of new research. And, he is always on time.

When I contacted Dr. Holgerson on a Sunday to tell him I had just fallen on a slippery lava rock in Hawaii and broken my wrist, he immediately got to work coordinating my care. He stayed in touch while I navigated the medical system in Kauai, consulting immediately with a top hand surgeon, and arranged for surgery back in Boston once we returned home.

Given it was a bad break requiring… See more
