I had a medical crisis in December/January. Dr Higano always reviews my medical issues and explains my condition. This time/explanation gives me the confidence I need to work with the medical professional for my successful treatment. It is a true benefit for me to work with Dr Higano. His care makes me feel like he is listening to my concerns while explaining medical procedures and terms I do not understand. I am grateful for the good care at Dr Higano's direction.
