I'd like to find those ungrateful bastards who low-rated Dr. Borja in these reviews--so I could kick their fool behinds back to Hooterville. He has saved so many lives, including mine in 2014, with his gentle, knowing genius that I'm asking the Pope to nominate him for sainthood. One of the great men of our time. (My name is Bobby Lancaster, and I'll proudly supply further ID verification if that is required.)

Dr. Borja saved my life with a liver and kidney transplant. Excellent surgeon who cares about his patients and is very professional.

Dr. Borja and his team gave my husband life again. My husband had a liver transplant in Oct. 2016 and although complicated, he survived. Dr. Borja explained every detail even the fears that we had. My family will always be forever grateful to this man and his team. Now he may actually be able to see his youngest daughter graduate high school.

My husband had pancreatic surgery in September of 2016. Dr. Borja explained every little detail and made my husband and I feel so much better about this surgery. It came off without and hitch and Dr. Borja took excellent care of him after the surgery. We will be forever grateful to Dr. Borja!
