Dr. Sjoerd Borst

Dr Borst is very kind, understanding and knowledgable. He brought up ideas about things in a gentle way and never told me I was wrong for thinking the way I did. He framed everything in a kind way and never made me feel less than because I'm broken. I've never had someone challenge my ways of thinking but he dies so in a way that that doesn't judge. Working on things can be painful and challenging but he does so in a kind, gentle and non-judgemental way.

Dr. Borst is very kind, understanding, validating and is very knowledgeable. I value his opinions and have learned so much from him. After years of searching for a psychiatrist within the province, I was fortunate to be given the opportunity to work with him. I have always felt very comfortable, understood and respected in his office. I leave his office feeling better than I do when I arrive. He is positive and humble! With his support, the overall quality of my life has improved significantly.

Nova Scotia is so lucky to have Dr. Borst and after a very long wait I was very fortunate to be his patient. He has said, he takes patients off meds just as often as he puts them on them and that’s likely in large part due to his compassion and skill as a clinician (mindfulness based cognitive therapy, etc). I did and do need medication support and he was the very best doctor to monitor and assist with this process. I echo all of the other (outstanding) sentiments.
