Board-Certified Rheumatologist

William P Maier, MD
has recently TRIED TO retire --oops!

...to read more books, run on Amazon  and Pre's Trail, go fishin', ride his bike more often, and especially to visit his family and grandchildren around the nation... 
But nope!  He returns to a part-time schedule to care for patients not able to be seen by other rheumatologists in the area due to insurance. 

Skill, patience, active listening, and excellence are what Dr. Maier brings to his patients.

 

William P. Maier, MD is a native Oregonian. While he was growing up, he lived in many towns around this beautiful state from Portland down the coast to Florence, and from Eugene over the Cascades to Bend. The family moved to several states and also to Nigeria, where Dr. Maier's father practiced medicine for several years. Dr. Maier returned to Oregon in 1991 to provide care for the residents of Lane County, and entered into private practice in 2003.

 

Dr. Maier graduated from college at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, magna cum-laude.

He received his four-year medical degree from the University of Arizona School of Medicine in Tucson.

He trained in Internal Medicine in Massachusetts for three years.

He completed his two-year rheumatology specialty fellowship at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, where he remained on faculty at the Emory School of Medicine and practiced at the Emory University Clinic for another six years until moving back to Oregon.

Dr. Maier enjoys running, biking, reading and traveling.

 

Teaching the next generation of physicians brings him much satisfaction, and you may be introduced to medical students and physician assistant students from OHSU --the Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland, Oregon and pre-med students from the University of Oregon. We also have students from the College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific Northwest located in Lebanon, Oregon.

You will always have the option of private appointments without medical students.

Our rheumatologists have admitting arrangements with local hospitals:

  • Sacred Heart Medical Center/Hospital in the University area in Eugene 

  • RiverBend Hospital in Springfield OR

  • McKenzie-Willamette Medical Center in Springfield, OR

An Office Visit with a Specialist

       A Happier, Healthier You

 ​Before we reach out to you for scheduling, our rheumatologist thoroughly  reviews each new patient chart notes from your physician. We may see you for one visit in some cases and will provide assessments and advice to your primary care provider and other specialists.

  • Our MD may determine he is not the right specialist for you, and will inform your referring provider of this assessment. 

  • FIRST VISIT with us  is simple.

  • We require a formal request from your physician.             

  •  Ask them to send us your recent medical history, and their reason for your FIRST VISIT with a rheumatologist. We DO NOT accept various Insurance Plans  (click  here).

  • We require that our patients are either under the care of a primary care provider, or another specialist. 

  • Fill out the required 'Record Release' at your referring provider  office, and they will send us your medical information. We have a Record Release you may also use.

  • Be certain your referring provider office has requested an 'insurance referral' from your insurance to our office, if necessary per your insurance contract.

 

We will contact you with several appointment options. If your physician requests an urgent FIRST VISIT, we will fit you into our schedule quickly.
