Michael A Borovay, MD

I had to change my PCP due to an experience with a rude, uncompassionate, and dangerous physician previously. I hated to make a change, but I’ve found a jewel of a doctor in Dr. Borovay. He takes his time, doesn’t act rushed or inconvenienced, and he has an excellent bedside manner. I’d recommend him to my dear sainted mother, were she still with us. Thank you for being you, Dr. Borovay!

Great Dr. very kind, understanding and takes time to listen to you as well as respond and read emails. He is very good with people who have white coat and get nervous at the Dr. I highly recommend him!

I am really surprised to read a couple of negative reviews of Dr. Borovay. I have been a patient of his for over 10 years and he’s without a doubt the best doctor I’ve ever had.
He is very patient, does not rush you out of the door, listens to your concerns and takes the time to fully explain treatment options.
I’ve never had a problem getting a prescription filled by phone.
Dr. Borovay truly cares about his patients. When I had a severe colon infection a few years ago, not only did he quickly and accurately diagnose it, but called ahead to the hospital to let them know I was en route. He even called during my treatment to get an update on my condition.
My only regret is that I now live in Northern California and cannot use his practice any more.
Two thumbs way up for Dr. B… he is outstanding!

LOVE LOVE LOVE Dr. Borovay! Have been going to him for years and he’s great and very personable. And, his nurse is super friendly and kind.
At times it can be hard to get a last minute appointment, but they also have a walk-​in/​urgent care clinic next door and Dr. Borovay works there on Saturdays. So, if you can’t get an appt with him in the office, you can wait until Sat and see him there!

I have been a patient of his for around 10 years and there are none better. He affable, attentive and always concerned. After being referred to a specialist for shoulder surgery and no longer under his care, he still called me at my home to follow up!

My wife and I have been treated by Dr. Borovay for a variety of medical issues over the last ten years. We consider him to be our primary physician. We have never had a problem getting an appointment in a timely manner or doing a walk-​in. He has renewed prescriptions over the phone or through our pharmacy any number of times. I have absolutely no idea why a few of these reviewers had issues with Dr Borovay or his staff, but I would hazard that they themselves are the problem, not Dr Borovay and his team.
We have referred 10 other patients to Dr Borovay over the years and they are all extremely pleased to have Dr Borovay as their physician. He is a true professional that listens intently to everything a patient says and then takes positive medical action. He is also a caring physician with the best «bedside manner» of any physician I’ve ever encountered.

Doctor Borovay listens to you when you are in the office but … the wait is just not worth it.
It took a whole week to get an appointment. Then it took another 1+ hour to get your own appointment. One time I was waiting for the result and left a follow up voice message with the doctor but I didn’t get an answer until two days after. It seems that it’s a very common practice in that office. The head of nurse can be rude. I’m a patient with questions because I’m concerned about my health and test results. But I got shut up and even was given an warning. It certainly doesn’t make a patient feel any better with no response from the doctor’s office.
Doctor Borovay may be a good person off work but the management and staff make me feel that this office doesn’t care me enough as a patient.

Dr Borovay is an excellent Doctor, and easy to get along with. I would highly reccomend him.

I tracked Dr. Borovay down from a clinic in Redondo where he used to practice and I’ve always been happy with him as a doctor, at the point when I’m in the room with him, but for whatever reason, his office/​medical group situation always makes it a nightmare to work with him.
Last time I went in I waited 3 hours to see him. Sinus infection and cough, nothing unusual. He gave me a cough medicine prescription that was literally half the size i twas all the other times I went to him. I told him that for insurance reasons, as well as the convenience of not having to come in for a future cough, I would prefer he write it the usual size. He said he preferred to write the smaller but promised me that he would approve a refill if I called it in.
So, last Wednesday I called it in. Probably 6 months after I saw him the last time. It is Monday, and after 6 days, my calling his office 3 times and the pharmacy faxing him 5 times, I called today and the nurse told me that he denied the refill. Said I had to come in. I dont have 3 hours to kill and I dont have time for doctors who dont keep their word.

I was a patient of Dr. Micahel Borovay and used to think that he may be a promising good doctor. What I found out was that if you try and ask for any convenience items, such as have the Pharmacy contact him to refill a prescription he will deny it. Even though this is a standard prescription I had for over 10 years.
This doctor is so uncaring that when I called to complain about the lack of service I had received, he unceremoniously dropped me as a patient stating that he could no longer be my doctor.
Wow, this is a first. I have met all kinds of physicians in the past, but this one takes the cake. I would choose another doctor rather than going to someone so temperamental.
With the rich sea of physicians out there, this is one barnacle you don’t want stuck on your ship.

New to SoCal and needed a PCP for a somewhat «delicate» matter.
Asked around, and was recommended to Dr. Borovay by a friend of a friend. Holy of holies, he was in my network, and I managed to get an appointment for the very next day.
The office staff were kind all around — small plus — but the Doctor is why you come.
Dr. Borovay was honestly the most affable (don’t see that one much in medicine, do you ?) doctor I’d ever seen. He listened to what I had to say, explained what he _​thought_​it might be, asked a bunch of follow-​up questions, then drew me a picture of his preliminary diagnosis on that weird thin sterile paper they have on the examining table. Very cool.
Diagnosis was quick after a very easygoing exam (told you this was a delicate matter), and he offered what I took to be a genuine availability for followup questions — on the spot or via phone later. Oh, and he prescribed me a generic drug. Points awarded.
That’s the long review.
The short review goes like this: If one of your nuts (or both, I suppose) hurt, Dr. Borovay is the man to see in the southbay.
Clarification: He is a PCP, not a urologist. I’d recommend him to anyone looking for an internist.
