Dr. Higgins listened and addressed my issues as well as educated me. As someone who also works in healthcare is it refreshing to find a doc that is professional without being condescending and he was incredibly personable. RESPECT he is a star and I feel lucky to have him in my corner.

He's kept my hand in shape well enough to allow me to keep me playing softball and golf for years. I'm currently 77.😀

Phenomenal surgeon! On my way to living a pain-free normal life again! I was in debilitating pain and was misdiagnosed with Kienbock’s disease at UPenn. (I’m an art teacher so my hand/wrist is my livelihood.) I decided to get a second opinion from Higgins and I am so thankful I did! It turns out I didn’t have Kienbock’s and that it was a cyst inside of the lunate bone. He removed the cyst in July. It’s now December and it’s healing very well. I almost have full mobility and strength back! Thanks Dr. Higgins!

Dr Higgins is very personable and informative. He does an excellent job of describing what will happen and offers suggestions for future procedures as necessary.
