I really loved Dr. Boorse. I just met him for my surgeon consultation. He was wonderful and really explained everything to me. He took his time and reviewed all of my question thoroughly. I really feel confident with my decision to have my surgery done by him. The office staff was very nice. The girl at the desk seemed a little stand offish, compared to the rest of the office. If I had one complaint, it would be the girl at check-in. Other than that, everything was great!

I only have good things to say about Dr. Boorse. He is very friendly and outgoing, but professional. His office staff is also friendly and very helpful. Dr. Boorse made me feel comfortable and answered all my questions thoroughly. I work for the same institution that his practice is in so I knew I was in good hands and that it was the best place for me to be.

Dr. Boorse and his staff are fantastic. I went to him because of his reputation, and couldn't be happier about that choice. I never felt like just another patient, I felt like everybody cared and really wanted to help me

Dr. Boorse is an awesome surgeon. He takes that extra time to make sure all your questions are answered. He leads one of the finest surgical teams in the country and all of his staff and other doctors are great. rnrnDr. Boorse ensures that the patient is well informed both pre op and post op with a required 6 month pre op program and excellent after care and support teams. rnrnDr Boorse truly cares about his paitients.

Dr. Boorse was very professional and clearly very experienced. I thought he was slightly more personable at the seminar than when I met with him individually. He answered all of my questions and allowed me to press him on things that were a question. rnrnThe reputation of Dr. Boorse in the community is outstanding.rnrnI have had problems with his Bariatric Coordinator. She appears to be overworked. She is pleasant enough to talk to on the telephone, but she appears to me to have dropped the ball in dealing with my insurance company. I hope that I am wrong about this.rnrnAddendum. I think that I was wrong. She is now following through and very helpful. I think that she is overworked?rnrnAddendum 2. Surgery went well. Dr. Boorse is an outstanding surgeon, but because he is so busy, when I had a complication, it took many hours before he was able to come help me. His residents were good, but not able to take care of the problem.

Dr Boorse was very nice and explained the procedure completely. answered all my questions I had and said if I had any other questions to call.

Even though I am still pre-op, as a nurse, I have known and worked with Dr. Boorse for many years. He is a wonderful, caring individual who treats his patients as though they were members of his own family. I literally trust him with my life!

My first impression of Dr. Boorse was that he was very knowledgeable. He answered evry question we had plus.He continued to provide that same impression throughout however his bead sidemanner was a little cold.His office staff was great they really helped me find ways to get this covered by my insuraunce.HE addressed the risks very openly but without it coming across scary. very reassuring that if there were any issues we have ways of helping just gotta call if there are any problems.Overall i would rate him as a very good surgeon very thorough and efficient.

Very nice, all the way through. I see him on Tuesday for the first time since surgery last Wednesday. My surgery went very well. The hospital he works through has a very structured pre and post care program. His office staff is great. I have my first fill coming in April. The only issue I've had is that once a nurse from the office did not call me back, but fortunately it was not a dire emergency. I am not sure if she didn't get the message to call me or what but I was slightly disappointed.

I intereviewed 4 surgeons in the great philly area, and was the most impressed with the program at Lehigh Valley Hospital.
