About
Dr. Abby Borhan is a board-certified Internal Medicine physician practicing in Scottsdale, Arizona. She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Biology from the University of Iowa. She then completed her medical degree at Creighton University School of Medicine, finishing her final two clinical years at St. Joseph's Hospital in Phoenix. Her Internal Medicine residency took place at Banner University Medical Center Phoenix in partnership with the University of Arizona, where she earned a nomination to serve on the hospital's Ethics Committee.
After residency, Dr. Borhan joined HonorHealth Thompson Peak Medical Center as a full-time hospitalist. She served two years as Chair of Internal Medicine and participated in the Women's Physician Leadership Council, the Peer Support Team, the Peer Review Committee, and the Charitable Donations Committee. Those years sharpened her conviction that medicine works best when it moves ahead of illness rather than reacting to it. She founded Borhan Precision Medicine to put that conviction into daily practice. Her clinical focus spans hormone optimization, metabolic health, longevity, BHRT, GLP-1 therapies, IV nutrient therapy, and genetic testing. The American Board of Internal Medicine has certified her, and she has received Top Doc honors three consecutive years from 2023 through 2025. Born and raised in Marion, Iowa, she stays connected to her Midwest roots and returns regularly to visit family. She is married with three daughters and stays active through running, biking, Pilates, and weightlifting. A former varsity basketball player, she still enjoys attending sporting events and counts Outlive and Amateur Hour among her favorite reads.
