Patient Reviews
Feb 23, 2023
I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Thomas Higgins! He was fabulous! I fell & broke my left hip. By ambulance I was taken to the closest Utah County hospital. The doc who operated on me put the WRONG hardware in and I couldn't even walk & was in much pain 6 weeks later when I saw Dr. Higgins for a 2nd opinion. During his operation on me he removed my defective hardware and put in the RIGHT hardware. He corrected the problems from the first doc (knock-kneed, 1 inch too short) and now I can walk without a cane and am free of pain 5 mths after that 2nd surgery. Dr. Higgins is SO skilled! He is SO compassionate! He is humble and wonderful. I highly recommend Dr. Thomas Higgins!!
