Miriam Borden, MD

Dr. Miriam Borden is a rheumatologist at Pike County Memorial Hospital. She sees patients on the second Friday of each month at the PCMH Vandalia Medical Clinic.

As a rheumatologist serving Vandalia, Missouri, and the surrounding Pike County area, Dr. Borden diagnoses and treats diseases that affect the joints, muscles, and connective tissues. She cares for patients with arthritis, lupus, fibromyalgia, tendinitis, bursitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, scleroderma, polymyositis, and other autoimmune and inflammatory conditions.

Patient education is an important part of Dr. Borden’s approach to care. She takes time to explain each diagnosis in clear, easy-to-understand language. As a result, patients often feel more confident and more involved in their treatment.  In addition, Dr. Borden believes patients should understand their medications before they begin treatment and explains how each medication works, what to expect, and why it has been recommended. This helps patients make informed decisions and stay on track with their care.

Many rheumatic diseases require ongoing treatment and regular follow-up visits. Because of this, having a rheumatologist available in Vandalia makes specialty care more convenient for patients throughout Pike County. Instead of traveling to a larger city for every appointment, patients can receive expert care closer to home.

Dr. Borden is committed to building lasting relationships with her patients. She works closely with each person to create a treatment plan that supports long-term health, manages symptoms, and improves quality of life.
