I've had surgery performed by Dr. Higgins on my knee and both shoulders. He was able to diagnose and fix a torn meniscus that three other doctors couldn't diagnose. He is an excellent surgeon, who has worked with the Olympic teams. He specializes in sports injuries, and has a rehab facility on site so if there are any questions, the therapists can check directly with him. And, he has a wonderful bedside manner and superb follow up. I wouldn't consider any other orthopedic surgeon!
