Testimonials from patients of Dr. Borchers
I remember, a few year ago, I had to have my gallbladder removed. It was scheduled on a Friday, and the Surgeon told me I would be playing Golf on Monday. It never happened, I felt fine on Saturday, but on Sunday my eyes were yellow. On Monday I went to see Dr. Borchers, and he sent me to get a CT scan or a MRI, can’t remember which. The Surgeon had put a clip on my Bile Duct!! Dr Borchers… See more
I thank him and his staff that he is always there for us and an incredible physician. We are grateful.
Dr Borchers and Abby Nims Lavy make an amazing team. Their attention to detail, willingness to help, excellent listening skills, and detective diagnostic skills kept me alive during the worst time of my life. I simply can not thank them enough or recommend them more.
We have been patients of Dr. Borchers for many years, long, before we joined MDVIP. He has always been and still is highly professional, knowledgeable, informed, and responsive. Anyone who is fortunate enough to become his patient should consider himself/herself exceedingly lucky..
I have been a patient for over 15 years with a unique medical history. Dr. Borchers and his staff have gone above and beyond for years. Physicians generally work hard, but our Doctor stands out with his knowledge and attentiveness. We are extremely lucky to have Dr. Borchers in our community.

( After all, I am a hypochondriac ) He said, "Well I don't think you are going to die, Dinah!" About 9 pm he called me back and asked about my finger. By that time it was fine. He said he had done some research on it and if it was still numb,… See more
Dr. Borchers made a correct diagnosis for a very serious condition.Other Doctors had failed miserably. His follow through has been fantastic.I would not consider going to any other doctor!
Dr Borchers and his staff are always attentive to my requests and needs. Theyve always arranged for me to be seen in the office when problems arrive aside from the regularly scheduled appointments. Everyone in the practice is always professional and courteous, well knowledgeable of the options which address. They know me and my history; also seem to know the other patients who are visiting the… See more
For a couple of years, I had been having diverticulitis attacks. My doctor, David Borchers, treated me with antibiotics until he felt I had had too many attacks and needed surgery. I felt I needed surgery as well as the last attack I had had really scared me. Dr. Borchers referred me to a surgeon in our area. That surgeon said he didnt think surgery was the answer. Dr. Borchers I then… See more
