Meet David J. Borchers, MD

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!

Frequently Asked Questions

MDVIP-affiliated physicians use the Wellness Program Plus to help prevent little things from becoming big things – working to help patients enjoy life and be healthier. Those who value their health will appreciate having a closer doctor-patient relationship. Because MDVIP-affiliated physicians have smaller practices, they have more time for you, so you can receive the individualized care and service you deserve. Physicians offering the Plus program have a different set of testing to choose from than physicians in the traditional program; this testing looks at additional health risks. Plus doctors also use an advanced cognitive testing system to evaluate brain health and offer a medication review program.

MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.

Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.

Testimonials from patients of David J. Borchers, MD

Keeping me alive

from Albert in CO • February 12, 2024
Image provided by: Albert
Dr. Borchers became my primary care physician after cardiac arrest and a 5-way bypass. Since then he has guided me through colon cancer a major infection and kidney failure. I am now dealing with A Fib and appreciate that he allows me to have an opinion on my ongoing care with concerns for keeping me alive. He has kept me alive for 28 years since my cardiac arrest. Thank you so much doc.

The Greatest Internist I have ever met!!

from Donna in CO • February 11, 2024
It is not ONE thing, it is EVERYTHING that Dr. David Borchers and his staff do for me whether it is getting me a quick response for a concern or a test via the phone; or, "squeezing" me in for an appointment within a day to address a health issue. Dr. Borchers' caring, expertise, and listening skills are something that I have never found in another physician no matter the specialty. My husband Read more...

Over the top service

from Stephen in CO • February 11, 2024
As I was monitored by the surgical team at Anschutz Medical Center this past July, my nearly daily follow up by Dr. Borchers, my primary care, was not surprising as it has been for over 15 years of that level of caring and close attention, but checking in on me while vacationing with his family in Europe was certainly unexpected but greatly appreciated. It's who he is!

I’m so lucky

from Adriane in CO • February 10, 2024
I was lucky to become a patient of Dr. Borchers when I moved to the Roaring Fork Valley 25 years ago. I was sick and in need of a doctor. My experience with other docs was they would prescribe something for me and I’d never hear from them. After seeing David Borchers, he called me everyday, making sure I was improving! And, that has been my experience whenever I’ve needed him!

Dr David Borchers

from Wendy in CO • February 10, 2024
In September of 2022, after having an excellent and complete physical the week before, I was experiencing pain for 5 days, which I thought was reflux. On day 6 I called Dr Borchers and he had me come in right away. He did another EKG and said it was slightly different than the one a week earlier…probably just the difference in the technician performing it. To play it safe he sent me to the Read more...
