About William I. Petty II, MD

My dream of becoming a primary care physician was inspired by my mother, who was a nurse, and the doctors she worked with as I was growing up. We lived in a small town, and when you went to the doctor, it was more than a checkup. It was truly personalized care. The doctor and the staff knew your name and wanted to hear what was going on in your life and how it affected your health.

As your personal doctor, I will take the time to cultivate a close doctor-patient relationship so I can help manage and better anticipate your unique healthcare needs. In my MDVIP-affiliated practice, you will feel welcomed by the relaxed, individualized attention you will receive. We will not only treat issues as they arise, but also work together to help you enjoy a healthier, more active life, whether it's spending more time with family and friends or traveling to your heart's desire. Similar to concierge medicine practices, I also offer conveniences like same-or next-day appointments. And I offer the personalized service of house calls by boat as needed. 

My primary care practice currently serves Hilton Head, Bluffton, Okatie and surrounding areas. With 17 years as a practicing internist in the Hilton Head community, I enjoy the variety of internal medicine and have particular interests in cardiovascular health, diabetes, hypertension and preventive medicine. I am affiliated with Hilton Head Regional Medical Center and have built relationships with many specialists in the area.

I had only recently signed up with my doctor and I had a medical issue which was concerning and occurred on a Saturday afternoon. Normally I would be highly reluctant to contact anyone on their weekend off but I had been told that I should contact my doctor if there was a concerning situation and so I called his number. I left a message. I got a call back within 30 minutes and had a detailed…

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.
