What Members Are Saying

Our physician, Dr. John Borders, is not only a very kind and caring man, we think of him as a dear friend. We are blessed by his knowledge and skill as a most trusted physician who cares about the whole person. We share the same faith which creates another strong bond between us. A few years ago I was to undergo a surgical breast biopsy and removal of a mass. He sent me a personal note of encouragement which meant so much to me. I thank God for him!

Patient of John V. Borders, MD, FACP

Dr. John Borders has been my physician since the first year he opened his office. This alone should reflect how I feel about the exceptional quality of medica care I have received from him and his staff. He listens, cares and treats whatever is needed. He made sure all vaccinations are up to date and everything get checked with the wellness visit and explains the results. While I have never smoked, August 2018 I was diagnosed with Stage 3 lung cancer. The oncologist treated it with a targeted gene therapy pill which I will always have to take. In November 2023 I had Covid although I had had all of my vaccines. Dr. Borders sent me to the hospital where I remained for several weeks. Although he did not treat these 2 illnesses, he kept up with condition and was there in an appropriate role. I could not expect any more from any doctor and I am privileged to be his patient. My quality of life is better because of him and at age 87 I can do most of what I want to do.

What a tremendous blessing it is to have Dr. John Borders as my physician! I’ve experienced the other side of medical care when I wasn’t a part of his MDVIP practice and have no wish to return. Peace of mind and assurance that I am getting the absolute BEST and current medical care possible with Dr. Borders is a huge facet of the overall health journey. Whether in person or over a phone call, I always sense the care, concern and wisdom with him and his team. Many many thanks to all of you for making this part of my life so much easier and enjoyable. I also love the amount of time and attention Dr. Borders takes with appointments and with the level of available tests and preventative measures! Much of life is uncertain, but I’m always certain I’m getting excellent care at Dr’s Borders and Hood and Associates. Thank you so much 😊

Meet John V. Borders, MD, FACP

I entered the practice of internal medicine, quite honestly, to be like the fictional character Marcus Welby. I recall his example of thoughtful and generous interactions with his patients. He was skilled and caring, and an advocate for his patients. I remember the day of my "calling" quite well; I was 13 years old and my mother saw something in me. She said things that planted the seed. My heart was changed and never deviated from what has become my life's journey. Even now, after 35 years in the practice of internal medicine, I still enjoy it and cannot imagine retiring. I love the relationships I have with my patients and our long history together. I have been blessed with excellent health and pursue fitness on a high level. While we all differ in our potential, I believe we underestimate what is possible in our own lives. I am eager to see wellness taken to the next level and believe that MDVIP has helped me develop a program of cutting-edge "best practices".

My personal practice, emphasizes wellness and disease prevention. My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. This model of care enables a caring physician to spend all the time needed, every time and on time, to provide optimal care utilizing the industry's leading technology and laboratory assessments. Quite simply, knowing what I now know is available and its impact on health and disease prevention, I could not choose another path. The numbers don't lie. With MDVIP tools and support, my patients' health can be improved and preserved helping to make the patient's experience vastly better. Patient satisfaction soars, hospitalizations plummet and the overall cost of care is dramatically reduced. How could I not provide this option for my patients! I believe we were given the tools by our Maker to live abundantly well if we care enough and are diligent enough to apply them. I thank God for MDVIP. My calling continues, and I am most grateful!

Frequently Asked Questions

Doctors who operate in the MDVIP models typically see far fewer patients than traditional primary care doctors. That gives them more time to develop deeper doctor-patient relationships that can lead to better outcomes. They can also offer conveniences that most primary care doctors can’t, including same- and next-day appointments. They’re available after hours for urgent matters. And they have time to focus on prevention. That focus begins with the MDVIP Wellness Program, which patients pay for with their annual membership fee.

Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.

MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.

Testimonials from patients of John V. Borders, MD, FACP

I can’t do my doctor justice but I will try.

from Ella in KY • February 13, 2024

I finally was able to get Dr. Borders as my doctor. I have many nurse friends that said he was a really good doctor. I felt like I needed a better doctor. I was not disappointed. During our first meeting I was impressed with how well he listened and his comments that were insightful. I thought to myself, this is going to work well. When I needed a referral I had confidence in whom he Read more...

A Journey

from Annette in KY • February 12, 2024

I think perhaps the moment that stands out from a medical perspective was the first time my cholesterol reading dropped below 200. I have been struggling with this since my late twenties. Dr Borders and I have been on a multi-year journey to this point. Multiple attempts to take statins failed over the course of many years and different doctors (due to relocations) until Dr Borders eased me onto Read more...

Dr. John Borders

from Alan in KY • February 12, 2024

Dr. John Borders has taken great care of my family for over two decades. He is always accessible with the latest methods of treatment, but he is also a valued friend.

My Physician and Best Friend

from Karen in KY • February 12, 2024

This is dedicated to my best friend of many years, Dr. John V. Borders. On the day we met some 40 years ago, he was a medical intern, and I was a new nurse. That brief encounter was the foundation for a special relationship neither of us could have anticipated. An immensely smart, talented, and compassionate physician, John works every day to enrich the lives of others, using innovative Read more...

More than a physician

from Ross in KY • February 11, 2024

Dr. John Borders is my MD VIP Physician. Prior to me he was my mother’s physician and good friend. Good friend is not an uncommon phrase when John’s Patients mention their relationship with him. He genuinely cares and you know that after a short time. He never talks over your head and explains everything in terms you understand. In addition to being a skilled Physician, John is also a skilled Read more...
