I really appreciate the knowledge and professionalism of Dr. Higgins. I don’t live in the immediate area any longer but I still travel to see Dr. Higgins for my care. And Dr. Higgins has worked with me trying to find some follow up care for me closer to where I live.

Dr. Higgins truly cares about his patients and despite being busy (he’s popular cause he’s the best), he takes the time to explain everything to you and make sure you understand everything. From the type of fracture to surgery to recovery, he is one of the best and kindest doctors I have met.
