About Me
I specialize in sports medicine at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, where I provide care for injuries and medical conditions that affect a patient’s ability to be active throughout his or her lifetime.
I played football at The Ohio State University from 1989 to 1993, and the physicians who cared for me when I was a student-athlete inspired me to pursue a career in medicine. As a former athlete, I enjoy helping patients of all ages recover from injuries and return to the activities they enjoy. I see patients for acute sports injuries, overuse sports injuries and chronic musculoskeletal conditions.
I believe in working with patients to provide a comprehensive treatment plan for their individual health issues. I also enjoy helping people to remain active and healthy.
I love working in a place that provides a comprehensive, collaborative environment where everyone is dedicated to the personal health care of our patients.
When I’m not working I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling and running.

There was a fellow there practicing under Dr. Borgers, Dr. Averil(?). He was extremely kind and was very thorough in his exam. He really listened to me and made me feel like my concerns were heard. Dr. Borgers is always a delight, and I'm glad to see he's training another doctor to be just as good to patients. Extremely happy with both of them!
knowledgeable about sports injuries
Dr. Borchers is great!
I recommend Dr Borchers to everyone that complains of knee problems.
Dr. Borchers was VERY well informed and open about my needed treatments. He willingly shared my X-rays and explained them to me. When I asked about all care for the day of treatment he told me what to do both orally & in a written report. He was a very kind & caring doctor.
Gives me sound assistance and advice on how to stay active post knee surgery.
Dr. Borchers always takes time to review my prescriptions and order refills when needed. We discussed my balance problem (due to partial paralysis after a stroke and subsequent TIAs) and concluded that I should order a better walker with wheels - which I have done.
Dr. B. is straight to the point, answers all questions very well & keeps me on the narrow.
Professional, courteous, informative and personal in terms of care.
Listened to my concerns
