Patient Reviews
May 05, 2023
My first experience with Dr Hightower was a emergency situation. The ER doc’s weren’t sure what was going on so they called Dr Hightower to evaluate my symptoms and ct scan. He immediately recognized the problem and got me into surgery asap. With Dr Hightower’s skills he had me fixed up and out of the hospital in 3 days. If anyone is in need of any of the skill he possesses, don’t hesitate to see him. If I had the money I would hire him to take care of my whole family. On top of his knowledge and skills, he’s a downright nice human that I believe actually cares about his patients. The medical community as a whole could learn a lot from him. I really hope that he stays where he’s at. It would be a loss for the area if he went to a different hospital.
