He understands the difficulty of living with a chronic disease but also knows what is required to fully accept the diagnosis, how to build skills to overcome the barriers and challenges, and strategies to stay motivated to live a healthy, *meaningful life.* By blending the knowledge he has acquired as a chronic disease patient with his medical skill and experience in the healthcare system, Dr. Borowski can provide personalized treatment plans to empower and motivate patients. He aims to help patients better understand their disease and learn to live a balanced, productive, and healthy life. Dr. Borowski uses a whole-body approach and works with his patients to develop an evidence-based treatment plan. This plan is one in which patients understand and feel confident, to stabilize the disorder and maximize their health and well-being. Dr. Borowski is passionate about the new opportunities that telemedicine can bring. He hopes to utilize this platform to reduce the burden of appointments and increase access to the field of endocrinology across the state of South Carolina. Most endocrinology conditions can be treated through the telehealth platform, but if an in-person visit is needed, his team will help coordinate this with the MUSC Health Endocrinology Team.
