    Dr. Higgs is great.

    Dr. Higgs instantly puts me at ease during every visit. He’s super approachable and I never feel awkward bringing up any of my health concerns. What I really appreciate is that he genuinely takes the time to listen to me—he never rushes our conversations, and it shows that he truly cares about his patients. That kind of attention makes a world of difference!

    This was a wellness check, and Dr Higgs was very kind and interested in whatever I wanted to bring up. He took time to make sure nothing relating to my health was forgotten, and recommended tests that might be helpful in future.
