Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit. We made very little progress. Nothing that will help me get any relief from my symptoms. My tinnitus was not dealt with and my freezing feet no hope for residual chemo that was left in my body.

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit. Use of location-enabled smartphone software to check in as I approached the clinic was quite impressive and efficient.

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit. The worst problem was that I was ON HOLD on the telephone for 49 minutes when I tried to call about my appointment! That is nearly AN HOUR ON HOLD! And then, after close to an hour ON HOLD, listening to the recording, when the receptionist tried to answer my call, apparently she accidentally disconnected me, because my call ended, after nearly an hour on hold, with never speaking to a person!! I was EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED! It wasted most of my morning! So, apparently you need to hire additional receptionists! This is a very busy general practice medical clinic. The receptionists are always friendly and helpful in person. I don't think I can remember any other situations in my entire long life where I have been on hold for an hour, and then did not even speak with a human being. That is really disrespectful to me as a patient! And then to be (apparently accidentally) cut off, that entire experience is NOT ACCEPTABLE! Thank you for fixing this situation for the future for all the patients who try to telephone this office!

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit. Dr Borden is an affable and excellent primary care doc. He listens and provides straightforward advice.

Aug 29, 2022
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit. Dr Borden seemed to not understand the pain level I was in. Didn't go into any possible solution to the pain other than pain meds and muscle relaxers. I was looking for a root solution to the pain not just something that would mask it for a few hours. I felt there was enough pain and information given Dr Borden to admit me to the hospital. He disagreed. I'm sitting at home now taking medication with no solution in site.

Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit. Been Dr. Borden's pt. for 20+ yrs. Always pays attention, approachable, knowledgeable. Also, the reception staff are very nice each visit. Some/many receptionists in OTHER Legacy offices are unfriendly and have an "attitude." Why are so many offices like that: Unfriendly, don't listen, act rushed when people come in sick, soared, confused. I sit in waiting rooms observing the UNKIND behavior of staff. Dr. Borden's staff are all very nice!
