Meet William J. Phelan, MD


As an MDVIP-affiliated primary care physician, I believe in an individualized and proactive approach to patient care and have the time and resources to help you reach your health goals. We can also work together to help you maintain your independence by focusing on disease prevention and wellness. 
 
I have been a family medicine physician in the Carlisle community for over 30 years and treat my patients as if they are family. In my personalized healthcare practice, I am able to deepen that commitment through unhurried patient visits and being reachable 24/7. I also offer conveniences like same-or next-day appointments, which may be found in concierge medicine practices.

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. Phelan and Melissa responded to my phone request for diagnosis and treatment within approximately 15 minutes on 1/24/2023. Dr. Phelan had left his office for the day and the office was ready to close when I placed the phone call. This is the method of practicing medicine that I grew up with in the 1950’s!

AAH, the “good ole days” have returned! Thank you Dr. Phelan and Melissa!

Dr. Phelan and his team are amazing. I genuinely feel like I'm not a dollar sign to him or the office which is a great feeling, but add on top of that, he's very genuine, and I have never left his office feeling written off.

My concerns are addressed as well as my opinions are taken into consideration which is also important to me.

Dr. Phelan and his are great. I have nothing but positive things to say regarding his practice.

The ladies at the front office are always friendly, and they treat you with respect. They will do their best to get you in to see Dr Phelan ASAP. Dr Phelan is professional but also down to earth. He gets straight to the point.. he knows what he's talking abt and he's so easy to talk too. Been a patient there for years and I will not go to anyone else. I thank everyone there for all they've done for me over the years.

Dr. Phelan and his staff are like family. He was there when I was having a life crisis; I was able to see him within hours of my call. He takes time to listen and answer questions. Dr. Phelan "tells it like it is" - I like that! I need to know what the problem is so I can "deal". God bless ya'll!!!

My wife and I both enrolled in Webmd with Dr. William Phelan who has been our primary care physician for 30+ years, caring for our entire family. My wife developed endometrial cancer in late 2019 and underwent several surgeries, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and a myriad of infusions. In late 2022 her cancer came back with a vengeance and she went through the same treatments, plus. My beef with the medical community is that specialists work in their own "silo" and don't coordinate their individual prescriptions with other specialists, simply telling you to "consult with your primary"....as if the primary is some kind of a wizard. Dr. Phelan apparently is a wizard, and he came to our home and sorted out my wife's boatload of prescriptions, recommending that duplicates and interacting meds be challenged, which we did, eliminating many. My wife of 46 years passed away on March 31, 2023. In the process, we were presented with a host of "hospitalists" who knew absolutely nothing about her condition. Some of them did not even know her name.
Now, It is reassuring that I have a doctor who knows me, cares about me, responds to me, and has the time to meet with and counsel me when I need him. In my opinion, Wedmd should be the future of medicine. Funny though, it reminds me of primary care as it was practiced in the 1950's when our family doctor came to our home when I had the measles.

I've been going here for years. I wouldn't go anywhere else unless I absolutely had to die to insurance and I'm usually traveling from work in Harrisburg to Carlisle than back to Mechanicsburg. A great, knowledgeable doctor and a very friendly staff. They always manage to get me in and make me feel welcome.

Dr Phelan and his staff are truly a blessing

from Darlene in PA • March 23, 2024
Dr William Phelan has been our family doctor for 30 years. He has always been willing to see us whenever we needed him. My most memorable experience was 7 years ago when my husband quit breathing in Dr Phelans office. We had just arrived at the office when my husband collapsed and stopped breathing. Dr Phelan and his staff flew into action and started doing cpr and my husband started breathing Read more...

from Peggy in PA • February 22, 2024
I like the fact I can call my Dr., even on w/e and he calls me back. He then calls my prescription in to the closest pharmacy. My Dr is 45 min away and this saves a lot of time and money when I don’t feel well. I am an asthmatic and time is of the essence!

Always There in Times of Need

from Linda in PA • February 21, 2024

But Dr. Phelan is always there, always just a phone call away, patiently listening and taking good care of my husband and me. Not only can we rely on him to be there for us, but he can steer us in the right direction if it's an emergency or if we need immediate care from someone else, such Read more...

Best Doctor anyone could hae

from Margaret in PA • February 11, 2024
Every time I go in to see Dr William Phelan he always greets me with a smile and asks, so how we doing today. He listens to everything I have to say and then we work on whatever is bothering me.
