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 physician in Mount Vernon.
Dr. Brencick-Higman is hands down the best physician in Mount Vernon. She is caring, compassionate, smart, forthcoming and oh so humorous. She listens and gets to the root of the problem. I never feel rushed and that's a biggie. If you are looking for a fantastic doctor, she is my 'pick of the litter'. I hope she never leaves Skagit Regional.

I had been hearing about Dr. B-H for the last few years. I am a member of the LGBTQ+ community and had heard that she was knowledgeable and competent and caring. The perfect combination. I just switched to her. As a 70 year old trans man, I was so comfortable with her immediately. The Clinic had up to date forms and demonstrated a welcoming and accepting attitude. I will be staying with this doctor for the duration. I strongly recommend her to my community. These docs are hard to find. Let's help her feel welcome!!!

Listened carefully to my background and offered thoughtful direction for my care. Was prompt and on-time with our appointment time and was not hurried to wrap things up and move on. Very refreshing having a doctor that can provide this.

We are so happy to read such a great review!

First rate. Dr. Higman is the best listener I have ever been to been to. She addresses every issue I want to and offers multiple options for treatment, often agreeing to what I would like to try. I have been with her for over three years now , and I am certain she will be my last PCP. She is just starting out with her practice, and as word gets out, I am certain she will be filling up with new patients very quickly. My wife and I try to recommend her to others who are searching for a new PCP. She is just a great doctor in every way. She is also a great audience when my muse overwhelms me, which in itself is amazing, considering I write at the third grade level!
