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 H. Richard in MA February 12, 2014 for William B. Holgerson, MD

I moved with Bill Holgerson to his MDVIP practice because I knew that this would allow Bill to be even more keenly aware of his patients. This awareness is a mark of Bill's practice. His awareness of his patients is why I firmly believe I am here today, abled to write this note.

I had a heart attack 20 years ago. At that time I notified Bill's office of my discomfort and… See more

My story with Dr. Bill didn't just start when he became an MDVIP doctor. I go back 35 years when as a 22 year old fresh out of college and with a very sore and infected big toe. I was referred to Dr. Bill by a co-worker. He took one look at that inflamed toe, put is arm around me and said, That toe looks like it hurts pretty badly. If I lance that, not only will it hurt like the… See more

from Linda in MA February 11, 2014 for William B. Holgerson, MD

There are not enough words to describe Dr. Holgerson. We have been patients of Dr. Holgerson for over 20 years. If it wasn't for Dr. Holgerson I wouldn't be here. He has been there for me, my parents, and brother. When my mother passed away Dr. Holgerson was the one who helped me cope with my mother's death, he also was there when my father passed away.

from Orrin in MA February 11, 2014 for William B. Holgerson, MD

Dr. Holgerson has been my PCP for close to 20 years. He is very easy to talk to and I trust him completely. He does everything possible to keep me healthy. He refers me to excellent specialists and always follows up with me. I know I can contact him at any time and he will respond. Whenever I see him, it is like visiting with a friend.

from Claudia in MA February 10, 2014 for William B. Holgerson, MD

What can I say about my smart, personable doctor?
Bill always greets you with a smile and he, quite a few years ago, saved my husband's life! He's been my doctor, and then my husband's, for many years and we're still counting. I'd hate to have to find another doctor knowing he'd never be like Bill.

from Eugenia in MA February 8, 2014 for William B. Holgerson, MD

Dr. Holdgerson has been by our side for over twenty years especially when my husband was diagnosed with Cancer, had a Stroke and two Cardiac Ablations. We moved to Cape Cod and will continue to travel over 75 miles to see him. Dr. Holgerson and his staff are excellent healthcare professionals.

Dr. Holgerson is a caring, compassionate physician; however, it was in 2001 that his knowledge helped save my life. I was walking along a street, had right front chest pain. I was carrying a heavy bag across my shoulder. A muscle strain for sure, but I called him to make an appointment. After questioning me, he instructed me to get to his office immediately. He had already set up a… See more

from Steve in MA February 6, 2014 for William B. Holgerson, MD

Dr. Holgerson has made a real difference in how I approach my health and wellness program, with a supportive, personalized approach to supplement my exercise and training program. The nutrition session provided a useful guide to healthy foods and a healthier diet. Have lost 30 pounds over the last two years, in part due to the added support and advice. Wanted Dr. Bill to know that he is making… See more
