Patient Reviews
Nov 29, 2023
I had to have emergency quadruple bypass surgery and luckily Dr. Borchelt was the surgeon available. He was very straightforward with explaining the procedure he would perform. He answered all of the questions and concerns that my wife and I had, as we were both in a state of shock that I had a condition that required emergency surgery. Dr. Borchelt’s professionalism and confidence was very uplifting which calmed our fears. The surgery went well and the recovery is going good. He saved my life! I will be forever grateful for the opportunities to spend time with my loved ones that I have due to the work he and his staff perform.
