Very nice doctor He has a calming effect
Doctor Higgins was amazing. I felt positive during the visit. He was very professional, knowledgeable and compassionate. I’m hopeful that I will have good results after surgery.
Service is always excellent!!
Always a pro with a clear explanation.
The doctor was very professional I was very confident in his diagnosis and his treatment of plan for me I thank him very much
Patrick Higgins provides superior care. I trust him and he cares about his patients. I recommend him highly.
My first appointment with Dr Higgins went very well. Unfortunately my follow-up not so much. I had a 9:45 appointment went through some testing that I'm not quite sure why I had to have done and was not made aware that I would be getting drops in my eyes as it was supposed to be a follow-up to a procedure I had done After those tests I was put in another waiting room at 10:30. At 11:00 I asked how much longer and was told there were three more people ahead of me. Minimally I was going to be there another 45 minutes based on how patients were going in. Not okay This doctor has minimal hours and clearly tries to pack in patients for the few hours that he does work I do not have 2 hours to waste it in a doctor's office. Not acceptable
Dr Higgins is it taking the care of my eyes for the last 11 years. I'm lucky to have him.
Exceptional eye specialist. Been a patient for over 13 years. Very caring and thorough.
Great bedside manner as a Doctor. shows concern for his patients feelings. .
