Joseph I Borden, DPM

I have known Dr. Borden personally for about 8 years.(Full disclosure… my wife Leslie is his Office Manager). Dr. Borden is one of the nicest, friendliest, most professional physicians I have ever had the pleasure to know. He cares deeply about every patient (again, I get this first hand from my wife) and takes it quite personally if anyone is ever unhappy about anything. I can also tell you that I know quite a few physicians who refer their patients to Dr. Borden… so he must be doing something right.

This review is long over due! I have been a patient of Dr. Bordens for over 15 yrs and every time I have a foot problem he takes care of it with Professionalism and Compassion. The staff is outstanding and helpful. He may be a little old fashion but then again don’t we all love the past where everything was much easier. Keep up the good work Dr. Borden and staff, 5 stars for You… I always say, your there for our feet not our heads for those one star reviews!

Dr. Borden is the best podiatrist that I’ve ever seen! He is extremely professional & knows what he is doing! He is so very kind also! His office staff are wonderful & professional also. If you have a foot problem don’t be afraid or live in pain any longer! His staff made me a next day appointment, the whole office is very efficient. Found my foot Doctor for life! Thanks!

Dr Borden is great! He extra time and did a wonderful job on my foot surgery.
I would highly recommend him!

Hi,
I have not been very comfortable getting my big toe surgery for bone spur and was trying to postpone my surgery for a very long time. I came to Unilocal and that’s when I read about doctor Borden. I made the appointment and was very happy to have made this decision to see him. Very friendly and was very patient and addressed all my concerns to make me feel comfortable and get me ready for surgery. I feel good and back on my feet again. Thank you doc you really took care of me. I would highly recommend him.

Let me preface this review by stating, I ran a medical office for years. The front office of any practice sets the tone for the office. Put as succinctly as possible, the front office staff is rude and inefficient.
Dr. Borden is a kind, professional physician. He took all the time necessary to go over my issues, x-​rays and treatment. He knows his stuff. Oh, how I wish he would change out his front office staff. They’re bringing down his entire practice.

I looooove this doctor. He totally gets it. He gives you options, instead of just «cutting».
I would recommend this podiatrist for anyone who is afraid of them. He works really well with children. Just cannot say enough nice things about him… very professional, but not arrogant like most specialists are… he does care about his patients.

Doctor Borden is a great doctor — i have to admit, i was initally a bit concerned when i was told Dr. Borden takes Obamacare, as anything that has obama attached to it, usually turns out to be garbage, but Dr. Borden is really a 5 star Podiatrist — very well organized office, nobody seems to be taking psychiatric meds, and Dr. Borden actually looks like he likes his job — not always the case with doctors today —
They also give you a piece of candy after you pay your copay — which i thought was a very nice gesture —
Highly recommended!

This review was way over due. I had partially torn my achilles from playing from bball and Dr. Borden and staff totally hooked me up. He’s compassionate, as well as passionate, and very knowledgable about what he does. Although I could of gone to an orthopedic doctor, I decided to stay with Dr. Borden since the other people, that I was sent to for xrays, know him well and say he’s one of the great foot doctors out there. Five months later. my ankle has healed properly and I’m now I’m back to cycling, running, and playing some bball. Stick with Dr. Borden and give him a chance, I know I did and I couldn’t be happier…

Wonderful, old school office! I needed to see someone about an infection that seemingly sprang up out of nowhere and hurt like hell! They worked me in as a new patient. and I was seeing the doc within five minutes of my appointment time. Thorough, looked at alternatives to swelling, allowed me choose my own level of intervention… all of this for a new patient. I’m on permanent disability and Medicare, which means all the attention wasn’t to get a nice insurance payment! Friendly staff… and bilingual Spanish English.

Was referred to Dr. Borben by my medical group. I couldn’t have been more pleased. Frist rate Staff and Doctor.

I smacked my toe, and it bent sideways in the worst way, but without health insurance, I tried fixing it myself. After 3 weeks, I needed help. I found Dr. Borden on an internet search, and the reviews here on
caused me to call his office. When you find a doctor this compassionate, you have to write about it. He was kind, listened, soft-​spoken, caring, understanding, knowledgeable and he has a very gentle bed-​side manner that other doctors don’t have anymore. He and his assistant, Beverly understood my desire to want to be healed. The doctor welcomed me to his office even though I didn’t have insurance, and Beverly immediately worked her schedule to get me in right away, as well as called to offer a better time to come in. They are the nicest people you’ll ever meet.

Dr. Borden is a very nice doctor. He is conservative and thorough. His staff is very pleasant and helpful!

Dr. Borden rocks. Very compassionate, caring, and sees your treatment through to the end. I did not have insurance, and he worked with me to make his visits affordable. He clearly cares about his practice and his patients. He is very friendly and fun too. Highly recommend!

I had a very minor foot problem that was causing me a great deal of pain. I could not get into see my regular doc for over two weeks, then a couple of days before the appointment, they called to reschedule another week out, knowing how long I was suffering. I was desperate and looked for a podiatrist on Unilocal with good reviews. I had never done this before, but seriously, I was hurting and I have to walk a lot at work.
So, I called the office, explained the situation to Nancy, and she was able to get me in the same day I was originally supposed to see my regular doctor I really liked the staff and Dr. Borden very much. I could not have been more thankful that they helped me out so quickly when my regular doctor of many years could not.
I could not have been happier with the visit. Thanks to those before me who took the time to leave a review, as that helped me to find my new podiatrist. I highly recommend Dr. Borden.

Good office atmosphere. Dr. was experienced and knowledgeable. Didn’t cost so much. When I arrived it was not so busy, but when I left the waiting room was full. I arrived 10 minutes late to my appointment and waited about 10 minutes to go in. Office was a little dated, but the building is dated. The office was clean. First time ever to a podiatrist and it was a good experience. My need was very minor, so not sure how he is with serious cases, but if had any major problems with my foot I would go see him again.

I agree with Sunny in Simi – first class in every respect. I felt totally safe in his hands for my double bunionectory last December. I also loved those pictures! Nancy and staff take great care of you, too. Couldn’t ask for a better doctor.

Dr. Borden & his staff, especially Nancy, are fantastic! They have pampered me and kept me healing since my foot surgery 13 days ago. They are professional but not «stiff» so I always feel welcome when I’m there. I like that Dr. Borden is a foot doctor who uses his feet. He has photo’s of him riding mountain bikes and running, and he says he walks his dogs every night. I trust doctor’s that take their own advice.
If you have to visit a Podiatrist, Dr. Borden is an excellent choice.
