MIchael Borah's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Borah may have a brusque demeanor, but he shows his caring by his dedication to his patients. Although it is impossible for a patient or his family to know the extent of any doctor's brilliance, Dr. Borah seems to have been exceptionally intelligent, knowledgeable and perceptive in the manner that he has cared for my husband through his multiple illnesses.

Dr. Borah is the most through, kind, caring docs Ive ever had the good fortune to  know.   I saw him for  eleven  plus years 2006 through  May of 2017 when I moved out of San Francisco and HOME to Marin.He didnt have to do all he did for me and I would like to publically say THANK YOU to atruly wonderful human being.That said,  you are putting your health in the hands of an extremely  knowledgeable professional.

I wish I could clone Dr. Borah. He's always been a great resource not just on kidney issues, but on my medical issues in general. That's so rare to find in a specialist. I also like that he's very good at admitting when he has no explanation. So refreshing.

Dr. Borah has been my doctor for the past 26 years.  I was having low hemoglobin numbers for the longest time and would have to go though long and tough blood transfusions at the Davies campus.  But one day Dr. Borah had a though on perhaps I may have Addisons disease and low and behold he was correct.  I thought it was something fatal, but far from it.  Dr. Borah was able to manage my low hemoglobin with medication.  Now my numbers are amazing and I feel great. Three cheers for Dr. Borah!

Dr. Borah has been my nephrologist for about the last 4 years when my kidneys were being challenged with chronic kidney disease. At first, my impression with Dr. Borah was that he was too into drugs as therapy and not open minded to alternative solutions. I come to realize that he is conservative when it comes to drug treatment, but sometimes thats what has to happen to preserve what kidney function I had remaining. He never prescribes meds too early or too much, likes to be very conservative is the impression I get.I had a total hip replacement surgery which could easily crash my kidney and after surgery, Dr. Borah visited me every other day to see how I was doing. We did our best, my kidneys did progressively get worst after my hip surgery and we are now waiting on a donor transplant. Luckily, no dialysis just yet... I seem to holding out very well dispute while waiting on a transplant. I can update this review after my transplant. But in the meantime, I highly recommend Dr. Borah for his expertise with the kidneys.

I was referred to Dr. Borah because of a problem with my kidneys.  I found him to be easy to talk to and was grateful that he explained my condition and how he felt would be the best treatment.  His manner instilled confidence and I feel he is an excellent physician.  I would recommend him to anyone who is seeking a nephrologist or primary caregiver.

Dr. Borah has been my primary care physician for over a decade and I have come to appreciate his excellence as a Doctor, but also his personality and unique sense of humor.  After my last checkup, Dr. Borah called to say they found hematuria (blood in the urine) and I needed to come back for a second sample.  After the same finding, a CAT Scan revealed a 4mm kidney stone as the cause.  Just 3 weeks later, I ended up in the ER at 4AM from pain I had been warned might strike at random.  I went to the CalPacific ER knowing they would have easy/electronic access to my CAT Scan, which they did.  Dr. Borah must have been alerted that one of his patients was in the ER because he called me and made space on his schedule that same day to see him.  Two big conclusions here:  1) the integrated / electronic medical records system worked within CalPacific, to my great benefit and 2) Dr. Borah is very proactive with regard to patient care he has proven excellent when a problem arose, which is when you need your doctor the most.  I can recommend Dr. Borah unreservedly in a generally stultifying medical system, he is old school excellence of the type that is hard to find these days.

Dr. Borah has been my fathers nephrologist and primary care for over a decade. My father now has dementia and I have been his primary caregiver for at least 5 years... Dr. Borah has a unique personality which is very endearing. He is extremely knowledgeable in his field, an expert,  and his medical attentiveness and prowess has saved my fathers life on numerous occasions. Thank you very much Doc and for the excellent services that your staff has provided me during these challenging times. I would recommend him highly, especially if you have kidney disease which my father has.

When you see a good doctor you know it.I saw Dr. Borah a week ago and was highly impressed.He took all the time he needed to listen and to understand my problem. He came across as very intelligent ,very experienced and solution driven. He called me back a week later with some more information and explained it.He is direct and friendly and you feel immediately that you can trust his judgment.Actually, I dont think I met physician like him in a very long time.

I cannot even begin to express just how incredible Dr. Borah is as a very skilled and knowledgable physician. He has been there for me. Through my kidneys declining and finally failing and prescribing the right treatment and working with me. I have had a very difficult road transitioning into dialysis, and he has stood by me and done everything in his power to make sure I was taken care of. He truly does care very much for each and every one of his patients. I am so very fortunate to have such a wonderful healer, and person in my life. Thank you, Dr. Borah!
