Doctor Borders is a kind , caring doctor. Seeing him takes away much of the stress of a doctor’s visit . Being an MDVIP doctor has allowed him time to get to know me in a more personal way. We share an interest in art through his beautiful drawings and my Zentangle practice. Thank you, Dr. Borders!

My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...
My personal practice, emphasizes wellness and disease prevention. My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. This model of care enables a caring physician to spend all the time needed, every time and on time, to provide optimal care utilizing the industry's leading technology and laboratory assessments. Quite simply, knowing what I now know is available and its impact on health and disease prevention, I could not choose another path. The numbers don't lie. With MDVIP tools and support, my patients' health can be improved and preserved helping to make the patient's experience vastly better. Patient satisfaction soars, hospitalizations plummet and the overall cost of care is dramatically reduced. How could I not provide this option for my patients! I believe we were given the tools by our Maker to live abundantly well if we care enough and are diligent enough to apply them. I thank God for MDVIP. My calling continues, and I am most grateful!

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Borders
Dr. Borders has been my doctor for well over fifteen years, since long before he became a part of the MDVIP program. I feel extremely lucky to have him as my doctor. I think Dr. Borders is caring, thorough, knowledgeable, and most importantly perceptive--he thinks beyond the surface.
Several years ago, I experienced a period of imagined illnesses that brought me into Dr. Borders’s… See more
Dr. John has to deal with many different health issues and about ten years ago one of these serious issues emerged in my body. I needed stents! This was new for my life as I had never had any heart issues. John needed to become a cardiologist for me to encourage me about the necessary procedures. I followed his advice and am so glad I did. As an active 79 year old guy I remain able to run… See more
Dr. Borders has been my doctor since MDVIP started and before. Dr. Borders diagnosed my condition/problem by observation. He put 2 and 2 together, and ordered another scan of my lungs. He was “correct” in his conclusion. There was a spot in my left lung. Dr. Borders then explained to me the conclusion, and his recommendations. I took his advice. I was operated on, and “cancer” was successfully… See more
My doctor, John Borders, already knows how much I appreciate him! John was my friend before he became my doctor and he still is. I really can't afford to be part of MDVIP but to keep John as my doctor I had to join! John is a good, kindhearted man who really cares about his patients and goes the extra mile to get them the help they need. He always treats me with respect and allows me to… See more
I finally was able to get Dr. Borders as my doctor. I have many nurse friends that said he was a really good doctor. I felt like I needed a better doctor. I was not disappointed.
During our first meeting I was impressed with how well he listened and his comments that were insightful. I thought to myself, this is going to work well.
When I needed a referral I had… See more
I think perhaps the moment that stands out from a medical perspective was the first time my cholesterol reading dropped below 200. I have been struggling with this since my late twenties. Dr Borders and I have been on a multi-year journey to this point. Multiple attempts to take statins failed over the course of many years and different doctors (due to relocations) until Dr Borders eased me… See more
This is dedicated to my best friend of many years, Dr. John V. Borders. On the day we met some 40 years ago, he was a medical intern, and I was a new nurse. That brief encounter was the foundation for a special relationship neither of us could have anticipated. An immensely smart, talented, and compassionate physician, John works every day to enrich the lives of others, using innovative… See more
Dr. John Borders has taken great care of my family for over two decades. He is always accessible with the latest methods of treatment, but he is also a valued friend.
My husband and I both began our journey with Dr. Borders in the 1990’s and I see him still. My husband passed away last November after a long history of cardiac issues. The moment we knew how wonderful Dr. Borders is was April, 1995 when Mel had his first myocardial infarction. Although our cardiologist was attentive and knowledgeable, it was Dr. Borders who visited daily, reassured us and… See more
