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.

Scheduling is a nightmare.
My husband and I have been with this practice for many years. In the last few years whenever either they call to cancel or you need to reschedule it will be several months (up to 6) before they can reschedule the appt. This is unacceptable, whether it is the fault of the scheduling staff or the Dr. themselves no one seems to be able to answer. We are now planning to leave the practice. A Dr. is only as good as they have time to see you.

This is my wife’s PCP. During a crisis(kidney stone), you see how good your medical care is. I’ve never seen a doctor show more compassion,communicate so quickly or advocate more greatly than Dr. Higgins has done for my wife. Dr. Higgins has truly demonstrated what great medical care is and has shown she values her patients ! Off the scale medical treatment! Mr. Gentilini

Dr. Higgins is very knowledgeable and proficient. She develops a plan of care for you and then makes certain everything is carried out to insure that plan happens. She makes suggestions and will give you needed referrals. Her expertise is reassuring and she is pleasant to work with. Her staff is as efficient as she is.

Dr. Higgins had been my primary care physician for years. She is an awesome doctor. She is always on top of things. She takes time to answer my questions. She never rushes through my visits. I would recommend her to everyone!!!

My retiring internist referred me to Dr. Christine Higgins to be my next PCP/internist. She first saw me post discharge from the hospital & I have many complex medical issues. She took her time with me to get to know me & my health issues. She is very bright, thorough & kind. I am an R.N. so I expect excellence from my doctor's. Dr. Higgins met all my expectations. I feel confident entrusting my health to her. The office staff are all very engaging. I highly recommend her.
