There are really no words I could say to express my gratitude to Dr. Borjeson. This doctor literally saved my life the very first day I met her by doing a biopsy right in her office. If it wasn't for her quick thinking I wouldn't be here today. She even saved my daughter when an abscess ruptured in my daughter body. Even though I don't live in Arizona anymore this doctor will always be in my heart. If you want someone that really cares about you as a person Dr. Borjeson is your doctor. She is that one of a kind doctor and I was bless . Thank you so much for always being there for me and my family and for giving me back my life without you I wouldn't be a recording artist with the number one single just had to throw that in there. Stay bless Dr. Borjeson.

I had my surgery 4 weeks ago and everything has been great. She identified the problem educated me and had surgery 2 weeks later. It all went great. It's been over a year and I've been back in the gym with zero complications. Highly recommended.

I've seen Dr. Borjeson starting nearly 10 years ago for routine colonoscopies. During these procedures, Dr. Borjeson identified atypical tissue twice and removed it, saving me from what otherwise would have been colon cancer. Dr. Borjeson has always considered my comfort and well-being when making treatment decisions. For example, she could’ve chosen a much more invasive colon resection for a recent situation that was instead managed through a colonoscopy and removal of tissue during that procedure. She is not over-aggressive and has always taken the treatment approach that ensured I would have the best possible outcome, with the least amount of discomfort. Dr. Borjeson has always been very kind to me and her office staff have been extraordinarily helpful and available when needed. I have trusted my life to Dr. Borjeson and will continue to do so.
