    We had to stop a conversation but we restarted it again later but without a feeling of the doctor expressing impatience. It was positive.

    Dr Borden is one of my all time favorite doctors. When I go in with a new medical issue, he always either has a treatment plan or knows which specialist to send me to. I trust him.

    This was my first visit with Dr Bordon. I was anxious about how that would go. It went very well, particularly in light of Dr. Bordon having to become familiar with a new patient and my many medical issues.
