Dr. Borgstrom is one of the best doctors I've ever had! She's an excellent diagnostician, orthopedist and physiatrist. I have seen her for knee issues but this time for chronic and complex shoulder issues. Her exam was thorough and definitive. She's an excellent diagnostician and so understanding...her stated purpose to help me return to swimming in time. I've never said this before about any medical professional... but she is sincerely loving. She ordered an MRI that had been denied me recently at Faulkner orthopedics. The results will greatly help remediation! I cannot express my gratitude more!

I was so happy to meet and speak with Dr. Borgstrom. She really listened to what was going on with me and was able to provide some tweaks for my current exercise routine as well as give me some new exercises. We also talked about a therapy that I had been unaware of that is covered by insurance, which is great. I am really looking forward to seeing her again for my first therapy session. She was a great listener and I feel like I am in fantastic hands with her and with everybody in the mass general sports medicine office.
