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.

Very careful and gentle. Friendly even offered to look at myright hip.

Hip injection
Worst decision of my life! Hip pain was worse than prior to injection & persisted for 4 months until I was able to have hip replacement. No explanation for what happened & very dismissive!

Dr Borders cares about her patients
Dr. Borders listens to you. She doesn't rush a person. Dr Borders is just a genuinely nice person, and very professional. I was going elsewhere for help at a different facility and was incredibly rushed and not heard. I am Incredibly happy with the care I receive with Dr Borders.
