Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Best, patient doctor to work with. Listens well and explains things well. Very thorough during & after surgery. None better.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Highfill?
Still waiting for results two months after surgery. He is too busy to check results and return calls in a timely manner. I was pleased with the surgery and how fast he scheduled my appointment. I’m very disappointed that I have been unable to receive my results due to him being in surgeries. I would suggest getting an APN to follow up with the high volume office.
