Doctor Higgins visit went better than previous visits .
5.0
Dr. Higgins is one of, if not the BEST doctor that I have ever seen in my life. He is attentive, easy to talk with, has great rapport and makes me feel and know that I am being heard when I ask questions or share concerns. This is the experience every time that I see him and I am grateful to have found him. I trust him with my healthcare and travel a distance to his office because he is the doctor I want to work with.
