"From the minute I heard Dr. Borland speak, I knew he was the surgeon for me. I felt comfortable with his speech. He advised the group that he was the one who personally went to different states to be educated in all aspects of this type of surgery. rnrnMy impression of Dr. Borland has not changed at all since my surgery of March 10, 2003. I have gone to every monthly meeting since April of 2003, missing only one: which was this May because this date conflicted with my daughter's senior high graduation. Each time Dr. Borland has graces us with his expertise, he has brought more valuable information that we could all use. He is constantly going to seminars to learn different things to help us with. rnrnDr. Borland is a very fortunate man at Dautrieve hospital in New Iberia, LA. He has a strong staff of group supporters. Ms. Wallace, Nancy Darrow and Krystal LeBlanc are dedicated to his patients. Ms. Wallace has never misssed a meeting. The other two young ladies are there very often also. Our group is very fortunate. rnrnI really do not have anything negative to say about any of Dr. Borland's immediate staff who have helped us post-operativately. rnrnI think future patients should know that rnDr. Borland is caring, he will address your personal needs, he will answer your questions and ask if you understand the answer, he is very tired when he comes to the meetings because of surgery all day, but he comes with his whole self. rnrnDr. Borland emphasizes aftercare all the time. He states that aftercare is just as important as the decision to have the operation. rnrnAs far as a structured aftercare program, all I can say is that he wants you to follow up for the rest of your life at different time intervals and he definately is in full participation of the support group. You cannot ask anymore of the man.rnrnDr. Borland shows slides of the complete surgery procedure and explains step by step what to expect and all the risks involved. He ask if there are any concerns you may have, then he addresses them.rnrnI hate to say this but after hearing from several people about their experiences and their doctor. I am more than grateful that I chose Dr. Borland, in my opinion, he is the \"best\". He knows his field and he is well intuned to adaptation. As I said, he is constantly going to seminars to keep abreast of the new procedures and to tune up on the old ones.rnrnDr. Borland has both. Personally, I would rather have a surgeon with confidence in his work than one who jokes alot. Believe me, after surgery, you are so drugged up you would not get the joke anyway. But, if he made a slip of the knife, guess who gets the last laught. It would not have been me. Borland is the way to go. "
"I have been in Dautrieve several times and so has my husband with each experience with the exception of one emergency room doctor I find it to be a very good, clean and accomadating facility."
