Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Phenomenal Doctor!
Dr. Higgins is the most down to earth surgeon I’ve ever come across. Her bedside manner made me feel so at ease and really helped my medical anxiety. Aside from being brilliant, she has an amazing sense of humor and I truly felt like I’d known her for years. I cannot recommend her enough!

In contrast to other providers I was left with the impression that surgical care was better integrated across a continuum of care. The physician and nurse practitioner asked detailed questions that addressed my potential risks. They asked questions that were designed to characterize my complaints, diagnosis, and Observations. The surgeon did an excellent job of characterizing what she would do, how she would do it, and what my first day and first week post-op would be like. And she did a solid job of answering my 15-20 questions.
