Extremely long wait about 2 1/2 hours
Dr. Higgins is a wonderful doctor. He was patient with me and extremely understanding. He worked efficiently and quickly to resolve my issue. He explained everything so that I understood what was happening. .
Dr Higgins explained everything and answered all of my questions. The injection was so quick and painless that I didn’t realize it was done.
Very talented retina surgeon.

I always feel confident that Dr Higgins is an expert in the field of retinal disease. He demonstrates compassion and concern for my eye health and takes the time to explain and answer any questions. I highly recommend him.
