    I found Dr. Higginbotham to be extremely empathetic, to be an active listener, to connect what I was saying, and look at the whole of me and not just the part of me that was there, which I greatly appreciated. I felt very, let me restate, I felt like I was with somebody who was very good at what they do and it made me more comfortable.

    Dr. Higginbotham is outstanding in her patient care. She makes suggestions that I can carry out and her style of acupuncture brings relief to areas of pain in my body. On my recent visit, she treated my lower back and right knee, both of which had experienced the triggering of old wounds when I was on vacation. Afterward, I was able to walk down the steps to the parking lot with ease and was still active today without discomfort.

    Dr. Higginbotham was very knowledgeable on the subject of sleep disorders. I felt that she was very caring and conscientious about explaining things so that we could all understand the concepts that she was presenting. And I learned a great deal from her. I was able to get off several medicines and understand my sleep patterns better. and I am sleeping much better now because of my interaction with her.

  • Reviewed on 6/20/2025

    Dr. Higginbotham was extremely thorough and asked very specific questions. I did not feel rushed in the least. She was very knowledgeable in this subject and was eager to help in any way possible, coming at the problem in many different ways. I was comfortable telling her anything and everything. The only thing I am very sad about is that she wants to see me again in a month (July) but she is booking out to next March. I wish I could see her as often as I needed in order to do all the things we want to do together.

    I was given her name from my cognitive therapist at WDH a while back for a doctor who'd be able to help me with my not sleeping issues. I've only seen her 2 or 3 times. She's very pleasant, & kind. She seems to know my health history. She also seems to actually want to help me get some relief & be able to sleep like a regular human. She seems like she knows what she's doing & hears hoping she can help me.

    I'm grateful she listened to me - What I've tried, what was working, what wasn't working, what help I felt I needed and why. It's a rare blessing to sit with a doctor that truly listens.
