    Very thorough, patient, caring, and understanding. He is far and away the best occupational medicine doctor I've seen. I left feeling as though I could do my job well with recommendations for improvement instead of leaving with the feeling like I am unfit for the job.

    Dr. Biggs took time to explain things to me in a meaningful way and was open to any question I had. He took time to follow up on my labs and provide feedback, even as they came in hours after I had left. I appreciate the time and attention I received from him.
