Patient Rating
Legacy wants every patient to have great care, every time. To help measure and improve patient satisfaction, we send surveys to randomly selected patients after their appointments. We use this feedback from the surveys to improve and enhance the care we offer. It works like this: Real patients give us feedback through Press Ganey, a patient satisfaction survey company. They verify and confirm the results. National Research Corporation, an independent company, provides the technology to show the ratings and comments on our website

Able to get an appt quickly and had a person to person with Dr Borden. He addressed my concerns and advised in a personal down to earth manner that made me feel that he was aware of my medical history and what course of action i should follow. Over the Years as a patient at Legacy Medical Clinic all my experiences have been very good.

Jim is the best doc i ever had....
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
I like this provider, but he doesn't seem as on top of my history as my former (retired early) doctor. Something that is inconvenient is that this clinic does not draw blood for lab work. One has to make an appointment with a nearby lab to get the tests ordered by this office. Other clinics will go ahead and draw the blood right then and there. While I was able to get an appointment the same day, it takes significantly more time than if it could be drawn during the exam.

I was feeling ill; called in to schedule an appt asap; they were able to get me in that same day. Nice! Made me feel important. Dr. Borden was very reassuring. He took the panic out of my anxiety, explained my condition in a very straightforward manner. Recommended follow-up procedures. I did those as he asked. I'm feeling much better. He called a few days later asking how I was. He mentioned that if I start to feel ill to call immediately and that he's looking into other areas that might be of concern. Overall, a very satisfying visit.

Difficult to set up lab appointments for blood draw. No one answers the phone in the hospital lab!

I appreciated the compassion, thoughtfulness and kindness shown to me by Dr. Borden and all staff at Legacy Medical Group during this visit. [Removed to protect privacy] Thank you all for your patience and kindness.

I found it irritating that I was screened and then the clerk at the front desk asked me the same questions even though I had a paper and they can see the screening. Then the medical assistant asked the questions the third time.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
DR BORDEN IS A PLEASURE TO WORK WITH. I FIND THE PORTAL "MY HEALTH" USEFUL BUT I FIND THE QUESTIONERS REPETITIVE AND CLUMSY. I AM CONCERNED THAT PERHAPS THE TESTS AND RESULTS OF REFERRED VISITS ARE NOT BEING SENT IN TO MY FILE. THAT IS PROBABLY MY FAULT TO SOME EXTENT.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Over the years I have recommended Dr Borden to several friends/family members.

This doesn't relate to Dr. Borden. I was surprised that the thermometer used upon arrival was not no-contact. The person at the entry swiped my forehead numerous times and finally had to use a conventional digital thermometer. I was a little disconcerted that I was give an OHSU survey to complete and a Legacy form. it seems like handling paperwork should be minimized.

Respect from the front office, doctor's assistant and of coarse Dr.Borden. All staff always treat me as if they care about my well being.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
This doesn't have anything to do with Dr Borden, but I had to wait on hold 15 minutes to get an appointment with the Good Samaritan lab to schedule my follow up lab work. Not sure why that couldn't have been a little easier.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
I wish routine lab work like blood draws could be done on-site.

It was a delight to meet Dr. Borden. As a new patient with a long medical history, I was very pleased with Dr. Borden's ability to make quick work of quite a bit of data. He is attentive and understanding, and seems to be genuinely interested in my well-being. I would highly recommend Dr. Borden without equivocation. I found all staff members I had the opportunity to meet with to be both pleasant and professional. It's quite heartening to know that in the midst of Sars-CoV-2, there is such a group of diligent and courteous professionals going on about their their business.

All was excellent with Dr. Borden and his office for annual Exam. However, the Blood Lab communications issues seem to be as mediocre as last time I visited them. Tried to schedule an appointment by phone, as directed after finishing my Exam, but couldn't connect with a "live person." Prompted to leave a message for call back. I did, but never got a call back for appointment. So, I finally went to the building and entered the 3rd floor Blood Lab, which was relatively empty of patients in waiting room, and was received into the process. From there, very professional and timely blood draw, but I had to waste an hour waiting for call-back, and to make contact for Lab scheduling.

Dr Borden is personable, friendly, and communicative. I recommend him without reservation. I do wonder about Legacy's e-check in process, which takes some time but the information I provided apparently hadn't been seen by the doctor. That said, Legacy had me file it on [date detail removed] morning appointment.
