Aug 10, 2023
My son was so sick the first two years of his life before we got referred to Dr.Higgins, throwing up multiple times a day every day! Dr.Higgins was the first Doctor to get us answers. We’ve done 2 endoscopy’s with Dr.Higgins and both went fantastic he covered everything we should expect and the staff was so friendly. They made sure my son was comfortable and his first endoscopy at 2 he wasn’t old enough to understand what was going on so they let us gown up and go back with him while he was put under the anesthesia! We are so grateful for Higgins and Covenant!

What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams.
