Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Hernia repair
Dr. Borncamp handled my inguinal hernia amazingly well. After four years of putting it off, I was blessed to find an experienced, competent, kind, and gifted surgeon like Dr. Borncamp. He and his colleagues are excellent to work with. You can't go wrong seeking their help!

Excellent on every possible rating!
Dr. Borncamp is very thorough, professional and has an excellent bedside manner. Not only was I impressed by his skills with surgery, so were the staff. He explained what was happening and going to happen with both myself and my son. It was a blessing for me to have had him walk into that emergency room that day. I can't say enough positive things about this doctor.

Dr. Borncamp literally saved my life!
I am an 80 year old woman. I was brought by ambulance to Silver Cross. Unknown to me, I had a blocked and twisted bowel. I needed emergency surgery. Dr. Borncamp happened to still be in the hospital. I had never met him before. He came into the ER cubicle I was in and told me very gently, that if I didn't have this surgery immediately, I would die! Of course, I said, 'Yes'! I was so scared. He was very kind and explained everything in complete detail. I needed more surgery for a hernia last month. I didn't hesitate to have Dr. Borncamp as my surgeon. I would recommend him to anyone. He is a wonderful surgeon.

Emergency Appendectomy Surgery
I needed emergency Appendectomy surgery, I met Dr. Borncamp a few minutes before the surgery at Silver Cross Hospital. He was extremely professional and his follow up care was exceptional. Dr. Borncamp was able to perform the Appendectomy with as little down time as my appendix was segregated to one area. Followup was done within a week and the drain was taken out. Two months post surgery I would say I'm feeling very good and almost 100%.

Caring, Compassionate Surgeon
Professional and friendly, that’s Dr. Borncamp. Took great care of me. Entered hospital through the emergency room with severe pain in right lower groin on a Sunday. He took out my appendix that night. Told me my appendix didn’t look like appendicitis, but didn’t look right either. Turned out to be a neoplasm. Glad Dr. Borncamp was proactive. He has a great bedside manner and I will recommend him to everyone who needs a surgeon.

Dr Borncamp is the best surgeon. His bedside manner is excellent. I first met him when I was admitted to the hospital through the ER. And then when I needed surgery 3 months later, though another surgeon was recommended, I reached out to Dr Borncamp and was not disappointed. He truly cares about his patients. He listens to your concerns and explains things in a manner in which you understand. He is not an open you/close you type surgeon that sends you on your way after the "normal" post-sur

I went to see Dr Borncamp after two other doctors could not help me with my stomach issues. My problems had been going on for 2 months. I went to see Dr Borncamp because he was so great with my husband when he had gallbladder surgery. He LISTENED to my issues and instead of just cutting , sent me for 3 test. We found out the problem and we are trying to resolve it without surgery. I can not stress enough that he listened instead of just passing me on to another doctor.

Dr Borncamp is the best doctor I've seen. He takes the time to listen to your concerns and then takes the time to explain what he thinks needs to be done. He is very personable and has outstanding bedside manner.

Dr. Borncamp is a fantastic person! He always listens and explains everything so I can understand. He refers to pictures and information to inform me about what he is going to do for my surgery. I don't think there is a better surgeon to have do my surgery.
