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.

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.

Dr. Higgins is by far the best psychiatrist I've been to. She listens to what you have to say as well as giving you advice and stabilizing my meds. Since I started with her my anxiety has been better and she set me up with a counselor as well. I highly recommend using Dr. Higgins!

Dr. Higgins has been so helpful and wonderful to work with as I receive Ketamine treatments for Major Depressive Disorder. She listens to what I say and considers my feelings as we make medical decisions together. I'm so glad to have found a Ketamine provider who is truly interested my progress.

She believes there's more to helping patients than prescribing drugs. Has the best all-around mental health services of any psychiatrist I've ever visited. Best of all, she's compassionate and caring. When I leave it feels like I've just received a big hug.

Have been to many therapists with my kids for years. She is strange, and unhelpful. No direction, rushed. Waste of time. Very wishy-washy, felt like she was evasive on any plan of action or direction.
