Patient Reviews
Jun 28, 2024
If you need a hip replacement, I highly recommend Dr. Matthew Higgins. My surgery was performed at Erlanger Hospital in Chattanooga. By the end of my first week after getting my new hip, I was walking without walkers or canes. Now I'm on my third week, and if you see me, you won't know I've had surgery. The procedure was explained to me, I was given a choice of what type of anesthesia I would like, and it was exactly what was explained to me. In addition to being personable and professional, Dr Higgins has a lot of knowledge and is extremely patient. Don't hesitate to reach out to him!
