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.

Nonchalant no care no concern just horrible
Worst doctor ever. He was very nonchalant and treated me like I didn't belong in his office. He asked me 'why are you here?' I explained that my kidney specialist referred me because my cyst had doubled in size. He basically said to me to keep letting it grow and do nothing about it. I asked should we monitor it he said no but proceeded to say different in my chart notes. He didn't even discuss my urine test they did in the office. I later saw in mychart online portal that it was abnormal.

Was not what I expected not only did he refuse to be my doctor but also after my last visit of him refunding my payment for the visit he told me he was no longer going to be my doctor he sent me to collections for the payment they refunded. Just unbelievable but have no worries because you know Lees moto lee cares apparently their doctors don’t adhere to the same standards

Does not follow up-lousy communication
Wasn’t interested in physical exam -delegated to nurses - wasn’t interested in patient concerns- didn’t respond to Lee heath communication messages-did not follow up on testing

Dr. Borden not only helped explain my health concerns, but shared his medical opinion about my wife's situation as she was a former patient of his. Very much appreciated.

Rude
More concerned about masking than treating patients. My adult, disabled son was turned away when he wouldn't mask. We were "thrown" out of the office and were threatened to have the police called on us because we wouldn't mask up. My son and I were the only people in the waiting room. The nurse that came out from the back office was especially rude and when Dr. Borden came out to address the situation, he was very rude as well. Note that my son had a renal ultrasound the week prior and we were there for a yearly checkup and review of the ultrasound. No offers of doing it telehealth either. I can't imagine a doctor being so caught up on a mask that has shown again and again literally does nothing to protect anyone that he won't care for a patient, especially a disabled patient. Maybe it's the best thing...who wants a doctor that doesn't follow the science?

This man needs help. On my third visit following multiple tests he still didn't have a diagnosis. OK, what's next? His answers to questions consisted of I don't know to That's a good question. After more questions and no answers he decided I was agitated (I was) and should leave. After a few words of my own I did leave. Today I receive a letter that I was consistently argumentative with him and his staff. That is a total fabrication.

I went to Dr. Borden after moving here from out of town. I’ve had prostate cancer and surgery 12 years ago. My PSA was rising and I had been removed from Testosterone supplements by my previous doctor. I had also had some work for a blockage in my kidney, which had been caused by radiation. Dr. Borden told me right out he was sure I had a cancer recurrence. He did no tests to determine that before saying so. He was very dismissive and showed no compassion whatsoever. My wife had questions which

Dr Borden was my third Urologist and the only one that provided me with a satisfactory result. I was in the emergency room on three different visits within two weeks due to a greatly enlarged prostate. Dr Borden performed a TURP procedure that has changed my quality of life for the better. My previous TURP procedure never gave me the expected results that I was promised. I now enjoy life without the complications associated with an enlarged prostate. I would recommend Dr Borden to anyone.
