"My first experience, by another office, was very traumatic and unpleasant. I was highly nervous to go again several years later. I demanded another office and doctor. I couldn’t have had a better experience starting with the staff and ending with Dr. Haldernan. They put my fears at ease throughout the procedure. Next time I have to schedule, I will be far more relaxed. And Dr. Haldernan? Please don’t retire too soon, okay?😉"
"I requested a paper to be filled out before you get there and rose told me. I could get it when I got there. I believe it was called a review form. Because I wanted to be prepared for everybody. Everyone else was very nice ."
"Dr. ;Holderman was chosen as the physician to go to for GI needs. We are a group of ER nurses who through our own experience or people we trust came up with a list of specialty physicians to go to when the need arises for us, our family or friends. He has been our physician for over 25 years."
"Everything was smooth from the moment I walked in until the moment I left. The check in process was easy and the all the staff were polite ( and funny) and thorough when asking background questions. I was very nervous but they instantly put me at ease. Recommended to my son-in-law who had a similar experience and gave rave reviews as well. I don't really like doctors as I feel they are always trying to get you out asap without really listening to you but Dr. Holderman was polite, took the time to make you feel comfortable , and really listened before he gave honest responses. I can't say I like doctors, but I definitely appreciate and like Dr. Holderman"
"I’ve been going to Dr Holderman since 2007. Although he is highly requested & very busy, when I am able to get in to see him he is always very personal, calm, focused on only me & the issue at hand. Their offices are very nice as well."

"As a young crohn’s patient and a crohn’s carrier for 7 years (since 18) it’s scary and worrying to just give your trust to somebody but I did and was lead a stray for 3 years as I fought flare up after flare up. So I decided to switch GI’s and got put under Dr.Holderman. My life has taken the best turn it could and I am not able to keep weight on, work full work weeks, and play football again. Calling Dr. Holdeman Friendly would be a understatement to who he really is. I am thankful I met him."
"I highly recommend Dr Holderman. He’s very sensible, listens to his patients, never rushes you and is quick to address any concerns or complaints. He also has a good sense of humor. I’ve had Crohn’s for 25 years and he’s by far the best gastroenterologist I’ve ever had."

"Dr. William Holderman has provided me cutting edge service since 1995. His ability to identif and remove the polyps at an early stage has allowed me to still be alive. I would recommend him to anyone with: gastro issues, throat, colon ,rectum,etc digestive issues. When considering my other medical issues,he referred me to a highly a qualified surgeon to add additional confirmation to my diagnosis. The number of locations and hours of operations also make it easier for you to get the medical care that you need when it fits into your schedule and close to your residence. His bedside manner and professional ethics should be taught in med school!"

"The medical practice is a 10. The business side, a 5. I experienced a number communication failures in making appointments. In addition, I was billed twice, and not reimbursed for the duplicate payment. A minor point: i don’t see the need to communicate through a web portal if I am not a “regular” customer. This practice is a specialty; I will not use the services but infrequently at best, so all the rigamarol re: setting up, remembering password, etc. is not worth the effort."

"I had my second screening colonoscopy yesterday at WAGI, both performed by Dr. Holderman. I commented to the staff member who called this morning to check in on me what a great job they did. Everything was organized and sequenced smoothly, from check-in, prep, procedure, and recovery. The staff was very friendly and attentive. A colonoscopy is not the most pleasant of medical screens, but I am impressed by the process WAGI has in place to make me as comfortable as possible. And I was. I will need another screen in 5 years, and I will have it done at WAGI."
"Dr. Holdeman and his staff are amazing. They give the best care, attention, and plan to help the patient. They care about you! They listened to all my questions, concerns, and problems.
