What our members are saying

Dr. William Holgerson is a true wonder. He has the heart of an old-time general practitioner while using and promoting current technology. He endears his patients (he used to welcome my mother with a touch on the arm ). He quickly adapted to using the electronic medical record. His knowledge base is remarkable.

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.

As Chris and I have aged from 50 to 60 to 70, Bill has kept us rocking and rolling. I wish him the best of everything including his own health and maybe a few rounds of par golf in Scotland!

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.
