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.

Dr. Higgins is great. I sure do miss her as my doctor. she was also my moms and husbands doctor. Very update with my health issues and also took time to listen to me and my concerns and was always researching the best options for me. I sure do miss her at shawnee health. She had to quit last year so she could stay home with her kids during the pandemic.. I really wish she would come back.

Prescribed me a medicine that never ever should have been given. Ended up in the ER 2x because of this. Would not recommend.

I would never recommend going to Kelly Higgin. She did not take my health issue seriously & she refused to do testing until I pushed & pushed. Then after she did a test & came across something, she went & lied on her report saying she had told me to go to the er if my pain got worse. That was a lie. She never told me that. I guess she thought she needed to go back & cover herself since she hadn’t taken me seriously & had put me off for so long. I now have a new Dr that cares about my health.
