The wait was not too long and everyone was very professional. The doctor explained the X-ray results and gave me the various options and counseling in my decision making.

Dr. Higgins was exceptionally personable and professional. He spoke to me in a way that was 100% relatable and I when I left I had a complete understanding of my condition, his expectations and the treatment. I would recommend Dr. Higgins and his staff to my family and friends.
