When my wife's cancer came back, we needed a doctor.
Dr. David Borchers was recommended.
How many Doctors would take on a terminally ill patient?
David took care of her until her death.
I was so grateful.
I said to David "I know that you are very busy, but when you can I would like you to be my Doctor."
He said "you are healthy so you won… See more
While going through Chemotherapy a couple of years ago, Dr. Borchers called me almost every night just to see how I was doing. One cannot imagine how much that assisted me in getting through those times.
Forever I wanted to go to Africa, but my husband always vetoed it. He said “I don’t want to see you die in the bush from a bowel obstruction”. If it had not been for Dr. Borchers, I’d still be dreaming about Africa. In 2012, my chronic condition resulting from ovarian cancer, numerous surgeries, chemo and radiation brought me to the end of my rope. With constant visits to the hospital ER due… See more

Dr. Borchers was on a rare vacation with his family and biking in remote areas out of cell range. He left his family every evening and went to a place where he could get cell service and call me. He called… See more
Greetings,

This is only accomplished by being extremely organized, qualified, part of the MDVIP system, but perhaps most importantly, a truly caring operation. It is readily apparent to our family (especially when talking to friends in larger Metro areas), that access to superior individualized medical care is becoming scarce… See more
When my husband came down with Covid on a beautiful Saturday in the summer, our incredibly smart and dedicated doctor, Dave Borchers was out biking being the amazing athlete that he is and stopped mid ride to check on his patient and call in Paxlovid immediately. What a remarkable combination of caring,communication and intellect in one fabulous physician. Many thanks Dr Dave Borchers. (Bike)… See more
