My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...

I relocated with my wife to the heart of the Rocky Mountains 20 years ago from the East Coast. I did this mainly for the beauty of the mountains and the unparalleled outdoor activities. My regular exercise routine includes biking, hiking and cross-country skiing and has been instrumental in my wellness. My goal is to share that passion for wellness with you to help you achieve your health care goals. Your goal may be to feel as well as you can for as long as you can, to set a personal best time on your bike ride to the Maroon Bells or it may be both! I offer the MDVIP Wellness Program Plus, comprised of advanced diagnostic tests, including a heart disease screening developed with Cleveland HeartLab and a brain health screening, that can better detect certain risk factors earlier, along with a personalized medication management program to help make your medications safer and more effective.

My internal medicine practice is located in Basalt, Colorado, 15 miles north of Aspen. My practice focuses on providing personalized care and attention and is the only one of its kind in the Roaring Fork Valley. I have a particular interest in cardiovascular health. I am the medical director of Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehabilitation at Aspen Valley Hospital, where I am on staff. I also enjoy endocrine medicine and have a certified diabetes educator and dietician in my office. For those interested in setting personal goals, we have the ability to perform VO2 max testing in the office!

Dr. Borchers is not only a supremely skilled and talented primary care doctor, he really gets to know his patients and their passions. He helps not only to keep me well medically but also gets that along with my wife, we pursue 100 days skiing per winter and we climb 14000' mountains in the summer.

My Gallbllader
from Wyland in CO January 19, 2024 for David J. Borchers, MD

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

Dr Borchers and Team
from Pamela in CO January 14, 2022 for David J. Borchers, MD

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.

Beyond
from dinah in CO March 11, 2020 for David J. Borchers, MD

Years ago I was in the movie theatre and the tip of my index finger went numb. When I returned home, about 6 pm I called Dr. Borchers. ( 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

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
