I would like to express my sorrow for the health of the husband of Sheri 173 105, a recent reviewer on this site. I sympathize with her predicament because my wife has advanced Alzheimer’s and needs personal care 24/7. However, I feel Sheri’s comments were hastily written and in bitterness.
I have had three angioplasties performed by Dr. Borgen in Maimonides Hospital. In each case, he carefully explained the risks involved, one of which was the possibility of a stroke. He was careful, gentle, and professional. Thank Heaven; my procedures were successful. Thanks to Dr. Borgen, I am 77 years old and feel terrific. I am fully functional, able to exercise, and, most importantly, I can study my religion with concentration. I agree that Maimonides Hospital needs improvement, but it should not be closed. Even in its present state, it is an asset to the community. With the risk of being intrusive, I suggest that Sheri volunteer at Maimonides Hospital to help improve it.
This incompetent, poor excuse for a Doctor should NOT BE ALLOWED to perform Angiograms, be allowed to practice medicine, and should be banned from the medical profession. He nearly killed my husband, and when I asked what happened he states “I don’t know”. My husband went in for a simple Angiogram procedure and was assured by him and several nurses that this was a safe, 1/2 hr to 45 minute procedure. He guaranteed both my husband and I that no complications will result from this procedure after speaking to him at length regarding my concerns. The procedure was performed at Maimonides Hospital (a despicable hospital that should close their doors), and because of his incompetency, my husband had a severe stoke and now has severe brain damage. PLEASE HEED MY WARNING AND STAY CLEAR OF THIS MAN WHO DESTROYED MY HUSBAND’S LIFE and the lives of his family members. My husband cannot feed himself, go to the bathroom or even dial a phone because of this Dr. The anger and hatred I have for this man is beyond any persons comprehension and I know there’s a place in Hell for him. How do you sleep at night Borgen? I hope and pray you rot in Hell!
