Dr. Lisa Marie Borkowski, MD

In my case I found the chairside manner lacking for compassion. None of my medical complants or symptoms were considered or listened to at all. A new diagnosis and referral lead me here. I was scared but hopeful. Left a very bad taste in my mouth. When you look around the waiting room of a Retina specialist you see a lot of silver haired clients many with caregivers and drivers providing transportation and such. I am middle age still working and needing to drive myself. Was having difficulty seeing driving lanes and did need to start using Lyft and family to provide help with transportation.Made it clear that I was having trouble doing my job at work and driving and was brushed aside. Had to visit Optometrist that referred me for new eyeglass prescription and vision acuity test that I assumed could have been perform3d there. Acuity test at Optometrist showed vision was still poor. Front office staff not very helpful as well. Was never ever able to log into patient portal after asking… them for assistance several times. I have no doubt they are highly skilled nut this is my experience. Makes me sad.

She told me exactly what I needed to do and when it could be done. Pulled no punches and told me what I needed to know. Refreshing. No beating around the bush. Procedures have been excellent and just as advertised.

I would recommend Dr. Borkowski to anyone. She is very personable and knows her stuff!

To begin with, she was condescending and arrogant. I went in for an exam and she recommended laser surgery. She said she could do it right then, but when I asked a few basic questions about the procedure she became rude and arrogant that I was "questioning" her. Mind you, I didn't go into the office that day expecting to get laser surgery so was deciding on the spur of the moment if I should get the procedure. I decided to proceed in spite of her rude demeanor. Unknown to me until later, she scratched my eye during procedure. I was not informed that this might happen or what to do if it did. My eye was numbed during the procedure so I didn't feel the scratch until after I got home. I was sent home with no instructions or any sort of information. The office staff were quite nice, but my experience with Dr. Borkowski was bad from beginning to end.

God bless her. She helped me with eye problems. She is a very professional and knowledgable opthamologi st and will recommend her to all my friends.
