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 was referred to Dr. Huggins because if abnormal mammogram. He did a biopsy and the experience was great. He explained everything that was going to happen. Very compassionate.

Dr. Huggins is a fine problem solver! He is a down-to-earth people-person. He did emergency gallbladder surgery on me, and saw a breast tumor others had missed. He did an excellent job on the following mastectomy. I trust him explicitly. And am grateful our community has such a fine medical resource. 5 stars, no question!

Dr. Huggins performed a somewhat complicated gallbladder surgery on my 80 year old father yesterday. I had serious worries due to my father's health issues. Dr. Huggins put those worries to rest. The surgery went well and exceeded my expectations in all ways. Spent a lot of time talking to me after surgery and was very thorough. Never met him prior to pre op as my father was an emergency admit. He gave me more days with my father thanks to his expertise and professionalism. thanks for that.
