Dr. Borja is an incredibly skilled surgeon and his care for his patients is above and beyond anything that I have experienced. My surgery was difficult, and I had the best outcome due to his skill. I appreciate the time he took to explain, in depth and objectively, the diagnosis and next steps as I fight my cancer. His responsiveness to my questions speaks highly of his care for his patients. Surgeons at at other institutions also speak very highly of him.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
