I knew after 2 minutes, I had found someone I could trust. Dr. Higgins was knowledgeable, confident, friendly, with a charming demeanor. And most significantly, he listened attentively to my problem. I had to travel over an hour to reach him but the drive was well worth the time. I shall return to him within months to reassess the next steps.
