Patient Reviews
Jan 20, 2026
Years ago, I had a retina detachment and the care that I got from Dr. Higgins was so wonderful that I will be loyal to him forever. I saw him again yesterday for the first time in years because I moved back to New Jersey from another state, he was so warm and pleasant to be with and he went over the test that I had so that I understood everything about the results. It was like seeing an old friend. I have numerous eye problems, including weak retinas and they only have sight left in one eye, I feel very comfortable entrusting Dr. Higgins with my eyesight and it’s Care.
