Dr. Higginbotham takes his time to explain to you all your test results in plain english not all in "Doctors Confusing Long Terms, & Words," That us old people don't know ?? An don't understand right away, "Like Most Doctor's Do An Then Walk Out The Room" "NO"!! He Does Not Do That!!! He Talks To You As A Person "Not A Number"An He Makes Sure That You Understand Everything That Is Going On!! HE GIVES YOU TIME TO ASK HIM QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE ANY BEFORE HE EVEN GETS UP OUT HIS CHAIR!!! HE DOESN'T RUSH YOU OUT TO GO TO HIS NEXT PATIENT "HE GIVE YOU TIME SPEAK UP IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM" THAT'S WHY I LIKE HIM SO MUST!! "" I RATE HIM A 10 ON ALL MEDICAL CARE TERMS!!!"" (""FOR EXCELLENCE"") Sincerely, Billy Dee Badeaux
