Dr. Higgins is very professional and takes time to answer any questions I have. He replaced my hip a couple years ago and I couldn’t be happier with the end result. It’s difficult to find quality health care professionals that you like and trust. Dr. Huggins is great and I highly recommend him.

Dr Higgins is one of the best doctors I have been to. After going to two other ortho docs at TPMG I was not happy. I knew I found the right doctor when I then had a third consult with Dr. Higgins. He is a highly experienced surgeon and I was without a doubt in very capable hands. He took time to answer all my many questions and was straight forward and understanding.
My meniscus trimming went well and I am recovering nicely.
Thank you Dr. Higgins for giving me my mobility back!
