I literally was just texting my friend who lives in southern Oregon how I wish we could share doctors. Dr. Borden is beyond amazing. I've never felt more comfortable and cared for. We are very blessed to have him working in our community.

I had to remind provider to order lab tests re: a new medication I was taking. He had said on a previous visit he would do this, but this time he was going to discharge me without doing it. He had also said previously he would do more extensive physical examination, but none was done except re: a pain complaint I had.He answers emails promptly, and does take time to get a history.

I have been seeing Dr. Borden for a few years now - during this last visit I was called back promptly. The person taking my vitals was kind, professional, and quick. This visit was a routine check-up regarding medication and Dr. Borden documented my progress and answered my questions appropriately. At my request, he took the time to talk with me about family planning at this stage in my life. He validated concerns I had and encouraged me to reach out in 3 months if conceiving becomes difficult to discuss options.

Dr.Borden has been my primary doctor since he started practicing. I would not think of changing doctors. He took care of my mother and cares for my daughter who has mental and physical challenges.

This was my first visit to Dr Borden as a New Patient. I selected Dr Borden after researching Doctors at Legacy and found him to be an excellent Doctor based on my dealings with him and the recommendations from reviews and direct reviews from others. as a new person to [location removed] I found Dr Borden had an excellent bedside manner and he did not have my records because my Dr in [location removed] still had not sent them to him after my request some months earlier.

Dr. Borden & his Staff greeted me with respect and courtesy. You could tell truly cared about me and what I am going through. Dr. Borden was completely thorough in his questioning me about what was going on and how he could help. He ordered my prescriptions for me as I'm probably going to be transferring up to this area and I wanted to get established with a new Physician as soon as possible. I'm truly blessed that I was matched with Dr. Borden and his Staff!

The office visit was great! I received a call from one of the medical staff members that is with Dr. Borden's team, I felt as if she did not understand the information about COVID-19. The reason is she told me that because I have been fully vacanited for COVID-19, I can not get COVID-19. Thank you

Able to get an appt quickly and had a person to person with Dr Borden.

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.

Blood test were ordered. I called the Legacy lab and got an appointment that was 45 minutes out. That was good, except the time that I finally got in was about 50 minutes later than the appointment. I can accept 15 to 30 minutes late, but 50 is a bit much.
