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.

The worst dentist!
I had a terrible experience at this dental practice and would not recommend to anyone!

My entire family of 4 moved to the area and chose to see Dr. Higgs. We got it to see him at different times based on our schedules. We myself, my husband and my 16-year-old were all told we had gingivitis and needed treatment, despite none of us ever having issues before and my 7- year-old was told she had 3 cavities. We all went for a second opinion and they said no gingivitis and only 1 cavity. This guy is seriously making up diagnoses to pad his bottom line. Avoid at all cost.

Dr Higgs is the greatest. He's not your average dentist. He solved my sleep apnea problem. No more snoring and my wife finally gets a great nights sleep. Thanks for everything.

Just got my buttons off for Invisalign. I went with Dr. Higgs for Invisalign because he is my general dentist and I got a good discount. Other dentists and orthodontists had told me I was not a candidate for Invisalign, but Dr Higgs proved them wrong! He did an incredible job and I now have the straight teeth I waited decades for.
