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.

She doesn't read patient histories.
She denied my request for a spinal injection, even though I'd had several and they all worked. She then refused to talk to my back doctor about it.

Never saw Dr. Borrow after the initial office visit, received a phone call that the surgery was complete from Dr. Borrow, nothing afterwards. Even post op visit was with her assistant. No hospital visits with patient even though patient was in distress. Failed to communicate patient's needs to hospital which caused patient to suffer pain unnecessarily and extended patient's hospital stay. I would not recommend Dr. Borrow.

I am 73 years old. Dr. Borrow did an outstanding job of replacing my left shoulder. I had much fear and trepidation about the surgery and did a fair of research on the procedure and the surgeons who perform it. I selected Dr. Borrow and she did not disappoint! I have my life back and the pain is gone. I play golf, use my chain saw and pretty much do what did before but without all of the pain. I have other ortho issues that I am working with Dr. Borrow and am pleased with her care.

Some weeks ago I was diagnosed with severe carpal tunnel syndrome in both my left and right hands. I was having trouble using my hands doing everyday tasks and experiencing severe pain and unable to sleep at night. Dr. Borrows set me up for surgery to be performed on my left hand. The surgery was done and several days later I already felt vast improvement. I am having the other hand done soon. I am thankful for her excellent care. I'm on the road to recovery and able to use my hand. So thankful!

My son tore his ACL and meniscus. He is a competitive athlete and this diagnosis was devastating to him. Dr. Borrow is a wonderful surgeon. She explained everything in detail and her and her RN Christine answered my hundreds of questions. He is almost fully recovered and her expertise, patients, and bedside manner are impeccable. She took time with us, never feeling rushed. I would highly recommended Dr. Borrrow!
