Dr. Borer is a good doctor who covers all the bases. He took an extraordinary amount of time with me to review my past health reports, such as a blood panel and findings from my former cardiologist. He wants to get to the info that's really important quickly, so if you're put off by somebody who's all business, maybe he's not for you.
He is still engaged in research, widely published, and is a consultant to the FDA and medical device and drug manufacturers. He wanted his own baseline for blood pressure, instead of relying on one reading. He evaluated my medicine, using data from my blood panel to inform his decision to tweak my prescriptions. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone. His office staff is courteous, accommodating, and professional.

Impressive. Comprensive. Reassuring. Twenty-one years ago I had an MI while undergoing angioplasty. My wife and were in a state of mild hysteria. I had no faith in my cardiologist. Someone recommended Jeff Borer as a premier cardiologist. He was as reassuring as a warm bath. (An inadequate analogy.) That is, he gave us both hope. He was brilliant and comprehensible. He was decisive and kind. He looked beyond the charts and - if you will forgive the obvious - into my heart. He has monitored my health over the past few decades with precision and wisdom. He took in a history that not only accounted for my corporeal well-being, but in a larger, existential sense how I lived my life and my expectations. When something went wrong in another discipline, he was always there to reassure and to correct an error, (without offending anyone.) I am grateful, but also deeply respectful of someone who has carried the medical art to this higher state.

More about Dr. Jeffrey Borer, MD
Jeffrey S. Borer, M.D., is Professor of Medicine, Cell Biology, Radiology and Surgery at the State University of New York Downstate Medical Center. For 4 years, he served as Chairman, Department of Medicine, at SUNY Downstate, an administrative position he relinquished in 2013, but continues to serve as Chief, Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, and Director of two research institutes at Downstate. Dr. Borer received a BA from Harvard, a M.D. from Cornell, trained at the Massachusetts General Hospital, spent 7 years in the Cardiology Branch, NHLBI, and a year at Guy’s Hospital (London) as Senior Fullbright Hays Scholar and Glorney-Raisbeck Fellow in the Medical Sciences, completing the first clinical demonstration of nitroglycerin’s utility in acute MI following his several years of preclinical studies at NIH. Upon returning to the NIH, he developed stress radionuclide cineangiography, enabling the first non-invasive assessment of cardiac function with exercise. He returned to Cornell for 30 years as Gladys and Roland Harriman Professor of Cardiovascular Medicine and Chief, Division of Cardiovascular Pathophysiology. At Cornell and now at Downstate, he performs clinical service, teaching and research, the latter primarily developing prognosticators for regurgitant valve diseases, exploring the cellular/molecular biology of valve diseases, and assessing the effects of heart rate modification on clinical outcomes, with trials in coronary artery disease and heart failure. He has been an Advisor to the USFDA for 37 years, chaired the CardioRenal Drugs Advisory Committee for 3 terms and the Circulatory Devices Advisory Panel for one term, was a life sciences Advisor to NASA for 24 years, has served as officer/board member of several national professional societies (currently President, Heart Valve Society of America), has published almost 450 scientific papers and 6 books, has participated in various roles in numerous clinical trials of therapies, is editor-in-chief of the journal, Cardiology, and has received several awards and other recognitions for his work. His research has been supported by NIH, AHA and, for many years, by several large private foundations.

Dr. Boren is a world expert in cardiology. That I already knew. But I was struck by his kindness, patience, clear interest in listening (which doctors often don't like to do.) He is thorough, thoughtful, and very skilled.

Dr. Borer saved my life. I have a complex set of medical issues - but he is able to manage all of them - the artificial heart valve, and many others. Amazingly, he is ALWAYS willing to take my call and make time for me.
