About Scott A. Boruchow, MD

  • Dr. Boruchow was born and raised in the Philadelphia suburbs and lived in Maine, New York City, and Boston before coming to Austin in 2013. In his free time, Dr. Boruchow enjoys spending time with his wife and two children, “exploring places near and far.” He also enjoys hiking, kayaking, running, playing tennis, and playing guitar. Among his favorite Central Texas spots is Inks Lake State Park.

I have always been fascinated by the marvels and complexity of the human brain, and am excited when I am able to determine the root cause of a patient’s symptoms. I find the detective work in neurology to be complex and challenging, but also satisfying. I always advocate for my patients’ best interests, recognizing that the ‘right’ treatment for one individual may not be the right approach for another. I provide support by understanding their goals and helping them accomplish those goals as best I can. I greatly enjoy getting to know my patients and working together to devise a solid treatment plan to improve their quality of life.

OVERALL PROVIDER RATING

Rating based on "Did the healthcare provider or doctor provide the care you expected?"

4.7out of 5

    Dr. Boruchow is great. He explains everything clearly and takes time to answer questions. He is business-like but never makes me feel rushed. The only negative issue is that appointments have to be scheduled months in advance because his schedule is so fully booked. I hope ARC is trying to recruit more neurologists.

    I was very satisfied with my visit, as first time seeing a Nuerologist in 30 years for my Myasthenia Gravis. Received up to date information for treatment if necessary.

    Dr Boruchow was prompt and very professional. He was very helpful in discussing my symptoms and various available options. He answered all our questions without rushing. He is an excellent doctor and a compassionate individual .

    Everything went just fine.

    I cannot imagine any aspect of the visit to your new facility and it’s staff that I have in my first visit there. Patient centered care is the name of the game with Dr. Boruchow and the entire team.

    What a pleasant visit! I was impressed that Dr. Boruchow had most likely looked at my file to jog his memory about our prior visit which was a year and a half ago. Because of this, we did not have to repeat or explain it all again which made the chat move along easily. Only questions pertaining to today’s visit and changes from the last one needed to be discussed along with future visits. Thank you for making me feel better about myself and giving me a much needed recommendation for another problem.
