Dr. Carlos Alberto Borge, MD

This is doctor is very persuasive, but be very careful with what he prescribes for you. No matter how in need you are. He puts on a good show, but does not know his pharmacology (updated pharmacology especially) he does no research, so his information on meds is outdated. Save yourself a huge hassle and do not risk your health. No matter how bad you feel.. you can always feel worse..especially at the hands of this doctor. He should have his license revoked. Honest opinion

This happens to be the worst experience I've ever had with a physician.He is quick to over prescribe and then becomes frustrated when the patient does not fair well. He has no tolerance for patients who suffer REAL side effects and brushes you aside as someone who imagines these results. His solution to ever problem is to double or triple the dose. Not to mention he has no full time staff, so good luck getting a call back. Very poor bedside manner as well as zero communication skills. Don't risk your health on this one.

Dr Borge has helped me immensely , when I moved to Florida from NY I was extremely anxious that I would not find a psychiatrist that would care and understand by Bioplar Disorder as well as the physician in NY . But after seeing a number of Drs here in FL , I met Dr Borge and I was finally at ease . He not only listens , but explains and validates your fears and anxieties . Excellent in all aspects of mental health !!

I have been a patient of Dr. Borge’s for a number of years. He has been very diligent in determining the causes of my anxiety and depression and ADHD. By treating the chemical imbalances in my brain, I have been helped immeasurably.

I've been a patient for15 years. Dr. Borge dramatically improved my life. Periodically, at different times of my life in the past, I spent a couple of years working with one therapist or another in Saraasota and world-class cities up North. Each time the therapist got me through the crisis at hand, but did't help long term. Dr. Borge, on the contrary, chaged my outlook, emotional reactions, peacefulness and acceptance of my life, so life is not only bearable, but content. I have the utmost confidence and respect for Dr. Borge. He closely monitors progtess of medications and changes so I'm feeling my best and the meds are suitable for me. I can't thank him enough and don't know what I would do without him.

Dr Borge is very nice and professional in person, his office is nice, but I was misdiagnosed with a mental condition when I had a physical condition and put on multiple medications I did not need which disabled me for years. This happened to my friend with him as well. I think it's a psychiatry problem moreso than an individual prescriber problem.

The staff is professional and kind. The doctor is attentive and wise. I was greatly helped by Dr. Borge's insights and medication choices.

He is very persuasive... He is a bit drug happy. He had me on toxic levels of lithium and never bothered to check my blood. I ended up going to my GP because I felt so sick. My GP did a blood test and with the results told me to stop the medication immediately as my levels were so high. Dr. Borge kept saying it was all in my head, all of my physical symptoms. He just wanted to give me more medication and more medication... I am very glad I stopped seeing him. Though he can be kind and supportive.... Something about his methods are just not right. All he does is prescribe one medication after another. He doesn't even taper meds down. And he ramps up the dosages very quickly. If you want to get and stay healthy. Stay away. He is a danger to his patients.

Dr. Borge is a fantastic doctor. He is well educated and very compassionate. He is very willing to do whatever it takes to make your life easier and more manageable. One of his secretaries (I believe she may be his wife) is absolutely fantastic as well. The other one, however, is not so great. She makes the scheduling process very difficult and speaks very broken English. She asks you to repeat yourself multiple times and phone conversations with her are nearly impossible. Don't let her ruin your experience though, because his quality of care and the experience he will provide for you far surpasses her inability to communicate with his patients and the experience she creates for you.

This is the worst doctor I have ever dealt with. He never returns calls and was unwilling to make time for an emergency consultation in person or over the phone. The secretary speaks broken English at best. You would be better off going to the bus station and asking for advice.
