He took his time with me this time.

Dr. Borrowdale is up front and honest . He doesn’t sugar coat anything which I find extremely important as a patient. He’s quick to refer you to another specialist if he finds something that he doesn’t treat . I owe my lung cancer finding to him and how quickly I got to see a lung doc .

Very knowledgeable and compassionate.

07/02/2025

His extraordinary skills allowed him to make such minor incision that my gum healed very well and very quickly. This is the second time I have had surgery on my gum so I know what I am talking about. I am so blessed that I chose him for this surgery. There was ZERO pain afterwards during my recovery which is AWESOME compared to the pain I felt from my first surgery from another MD
