I've been a patient of Dr. Holdiness for almost 20 years. He is a no b.s. physician & I credit his clinical knowledge for always being very spot on with a diagnosis with immediate & effective treatment. His admin staff is great & even if I haven't seen him in a while, if I have a medical issue, they will manage same or next day appointment. Dr. Holdiness is to the point, and if you give him a description of your symptoms, he delivers immediate accurate care. I highly recommend Dr. Holdiness if you want a very good primary care physician. No wait time & no unnecessary tests either. Don't expect over the top warm & fuzzy bedside treatment or a fancy office, but you can rely on intelligence & care about your medical condition!!

My husband, "...Mr. Know It All" had severe abdomen pain for 2 days and would not go to see anyone. I set up an appointment with my physician, Dr. H. , and he diagnosed a hole in colon and within the hour had him in a surgeon's office and operated on that very same day. Now, "...Mr. Know It All" never misses an appointment with Dr. Holdiness !!!!

He shows up on time and gets you in and out of the office without a lot of wasted time setting around like you do at other physician's offices...

After my first office visit, I thought I must have caught him on a bad day. After the 3rd visit, I knew that all he offers to a patient is more of the same. Extremely arrogant and will literally run you out of his office if you ask more than one question.
