Dr. Higgins is very professional and very caring. It is important for a physician to listen and he takes time to hear what the patient has to say. He is knowledgeable and a trailblazer in the field.

This visit was my second progress evaluation. I felt Dr. Higgins listened and responded to my comments and updates providing excellent responses to my healing experiences. It was quite illuminating, in some instances, to find out some of my concerns were expected and not significant or adverse to expected healing.
