Patient Reviews
Aug 25, 2023
25 years ago I was in a bad car accident. (Drunk driver) and blew out my right shoulder. Dr. Higgins was recommended to me. From the 1st visit, I felt comfortable with him.. Had rotator cuff, torn biceps and labrum all scoped by Dr. Higgins. Happy to say 25 years later, I am still pain free and work out regularly with no pain. Now at 69 years old, I'm having the same type of pain in my right shoulder. Time to go visit him again.
