Patient Satisfaction
Leave a review
How likely are you to recommend Dr. Higgins?
I am so happy to have Dr. Higgins as my psychiatrist. She listens to her patients and plans accordingly. I've never felt pressured as I did in the past w/others regarding a treatment plan. She is not about prescribing drugs but about finding the appropriate treatment plan and educating her patients on how to lead a better quality life. I am a bit sad to see her go but wish her the best of luck in her new endeavor. Thank you for caring.
