Dr. Higgins is an amazing doctor. His biography information gives you a great sense of his numerous accomplishments and skill as a surgeon. However, it’s after meeting him in person when you realize one of his greatest strengths. He listens to everything you share about your health concern and makes you feel comfortable.
After listening, Dr. Higgins then explains in easy to understand terms what his professional opinion is about your treatment options from most conservative to advanced surgical repair. He also explains what he thinks the odds are for each option at resolving your problem. He is up to date on the latest research and data available and adjusts suggested treatment accordingly. I don’t think I’ve ever felt more confident in a doctor’s recommendations.
