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.

Our journey with Dr. John Borders

from Vickie in KY • February 11, 2024
My husband and I both began our journey with Dr. Borders in the 1990’s and I see him still. My husband passed away last November after a long history of cardiac issues. The moment we knew how wonderful Dr. Borders is was April, 1995 when Mel had his first myocardial infarction. Although our cardiologist was attentive and knowledgeable, it was Dr. Borders who visited daily, reassured us and Read more...

Dr. Borders saved my life

from Amanda in KY • February 11, 2024
In 2012 I began having symptoms I had never experienced before- pain in my joints, difficulty performing daily tasks like dressing myself, and doing my otherwise normal job duties. After seeing a rheumatologist, I was diagnosed with RA and lupus but unfortunately spent the next year largely being ignored by him. It wasn't until I was admitted to the hospital after 3 previous trips to the ER Read more...

He Saved My Life

from Hilma in KY • February 9, 2024
Doctor Borders was always telling me I needed a colonoscopy. This one day I went to him and he said to me it is my medical duty to tell you there’s nothing like stomach or colon cancer and if you can prevent those cancers with just one night of prep, I would suggest you do it. I just said to him if you don’t make that appointment before I leave your office today, I probably will not call you back Read more...
