UofU Patient May 08, 2013
When we brought my daughter in, she had a condition that required immediate surgury. Dr. Higgins made a great effort on our behalf to avoid an emergency room visit. We waited while he made phone calls to pcmc to get everything arranged for us. It took almost an hour, but we were kept informed by dr. Higgins as he stepped in to talk to us (between patients I am sure) and let us know what calls he had made and the timeline we were looking at. It was a very good experience, even though it was unexpected.
UofU Patient April 30, 2013Great surgeon. Very kind and informative.
UofU Patient April 29, 2013Doctor acted like he didn't believe me when I told him the extent of the problems I have been experiencing
UofU Patient February 14, 2013Appreciated Dr. Higgins using a model pelvis to explain my fractures.
UofU Patient January 28, 2013Dr Higgins has provided me excellent care and access to him during my ordeal
UofU Patient January 27, 2013Very informative second opinion. Dr. Higgins detailed the treatment I was receiving with explanations and possible prognosis in a very understandable way. Great visit.
UofU Patient January 14, 2013dr higgins has always been comsistently outstanding when it comes to explaining the situation and what needs to be done. he always shows the greatest compassion and concern for your situation
UofU Patient December 26, 2012Dr. Higgins Rocks!
UofU Patient December 03, 2012Dr. Higgins was great- just seemed a bit rushed, which is to be expected in a quick follow up. However, any questions I have after the fact I know I can have answered if I were to call or email. The only confusion ever came with how I should proceed with future visits/appointments/etc, but was cleared up after a phone call to the clinic.
UofU Patient October 15, 2012Dr. Higgings was AMAZING! Caring, thoughtful, engaging. When I called in with a question to the practice, I figured it would be a few days before I heard from a PA or Resident. Instead, Dr. Higgins called me back within minutes. I am so incredibly thankful to have found him for my daughter.
UofU Patient October 01, 2012As I mentioned, the caregivers are excellent and we have the utmost confidence in the care given at your facility.
UofU Patient September 03, 2012I've been dealing with a non-union of a fractured femur since 11/1/10. Dr. Higgins efforts are finally beginning to show some results and the leg is making new bone. Dr. Higgins rocks!
UofU Patient August 28, 2012Thanks for the excellent care and concern.
UofU Patient August 27, 2012Dr. Higgins is very professional and cares for his patients.
UofU Patient August 17, 2012Dr. Higgins has all the "Right Stuff". He lives "It's about the People" and as a patient you feel it. He is very professional, knowledgeable, and concerned. I would recommend him to anyone. I am very grateful to have had him as my care provider. I have great confidence in him. I cannot say enough! Thank You.
UofU Patient June 30, 2012Had another complaint that we wrote on the form and the assistant talked to us about, but the Dr. didn't follow-up on or address at all.
UofU Patient March 07, 2012Good.
UofU Patient March 07, 2012Dr. Higgins is exceptional. Having been to several other orthopedic surgeons, Dr. Higgins shows a level of care and LISTENING and RESPECT that I have not seen from other orthos. The U of U Ortho center is lucky to have Dr. Higgins on staff. He gives greater credibility to the whole organization. I did a lot of research trying to find the very best orthopedic trauma surgeon in the state--I have no doubt that Dr. Higgins is (without exception) the very best.
UofU Patient February 01, 2012I live in NY, but because of the quality of physicians and care at the U of U, I have continued to use this facility for follow up care.
UofU Patient January 11, 2012The Best
