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.

Dr. Borders is the premier internist in Central Kentucky. He is practicing leading edge medicine by focusing on whole body wellness and cardiovascular preventive medicine.

Dr. Borders is an excellent physician. At the end of May 2018, his practice is becoming a concierge practice (MDVIP) and you have to pay $1,650/year to remain one of his patients. Insurance premiums are high enough. My employer provided insurance costs $6000/yr to cover my wife and me; my employer pays an additional amount. With copays and deductibles, I'm not willing or able to pay this. I am forced to look for another doctor and hope I can stay within the Baptist Healthcare System.

I can't believe anyone would have a negative word about Dr. Borders or his staff. He is Professional, caring, kind, and thorough. My father and I both go to him. My dad is hard to please with anything and anyone and loves him!??

If your looking for a Dr that you choose to see you and then get pushed off on his assistant then this place is for you. If you want to be ran thru test and then be told were going to try this and they still dont know whats wrong, then this place is for you. If your looking to be treated like a buck and be discarded when you express your concerns, then this is the place. Trust me there is way better places . Great place to waste your time and money
