Dr Higgins is a great doctor. He is easy to talk to. He replaced both of my hope and now we are looking at my left knee

This was my third time visiting with Dr. Higgins, and as always he was professional. I’ve had my fears about knee surgery and he has been very assuring that I would be fine and expressed to me that my knee would only get worst the longer I wait, and he was right. Yesterday, was the last straw for me putting off the inevitable, I’m going through with the surgery. My family is on board in helping me go through this process. I have 10 grands and 2 great grands and I want to be able to be a part of their lives. Thank you Dr Higgins for being patient with me while I made my decision.
