Dr. Lisa Borkowski, MD

Dr. Borkowski was friendly and articulate. She explained the results of each test and what it meant for me. Her approach made me feel heard. I would definitely recommend her for any retina concerns.

Dr Borkowski is a very skilled surgeon who is also compassionate. Her calm demeanor and voice were so soothing during my surgery. She has taken the time to answer all of my many questions. And honestly, a top notch surgeon is always worth the wait!!!

She is so knowledgeable professional and makes you feel so comfortable

Multiple issues with scheduling and equipment. First was a laser machine broke, made me show up for an appointment that was not needed. Next was another photo machine inop. This is more of a review of the practice, not sure Dr Borkowski has any control of these issues.

I have been a patient since 2011. My left retina detached in 2011, and actually a different doctor at her practice did the surgery as Dr. Borkowski was leaving on vacation. But a few years later, my right retina detached and she performed the surgery, not once, but two more times, as it just kept detaching. It would not accept a gas bubble. I had to do a silicone oil bubble, which was actually put in by Dr. Patel, who is amazing as well. But a year later, when Dr. Borkowski removed the silicone, the retina detached again and now I have another silicone oil bubble in there. I see her every six months to make sure all is well, and has left it up to me whether I want the oil taken out. It's been 3 years, and I am tired of blurry vision in one eye, but I don't want to go through more detachments, and she understands and agrees. She is a very skilled physician and I trust her decisions.

Borkowski was late by an hour getting to me while dilated in the exam chair. Had to be redilated. Told her I was not happy about how long it took, (past closing) to see me, and when I went back a few months later to have the procedure done, she had put notes in my file that she refused to have me as a patient. Ditto! She had zero apology for being so late. Dr Patel, same office, did a great job. Quick and efficient. Vision is great. Maybe she just had a bad day, but she didn't relate well at all
