At my previous appointment, injections were also given in a location not done before because of migraines occurring there. The results were 100% effective and Dr. Higginbotham asked about the outcome immediately, when my appointment began. She always has an impeccable memory and agreed to giving injections in the area I asked. Dr. Higginbotham has an exceptional bedside manner and truly cares about her patients. She is the only neurologist that has lowered the number of migraines I have and decreased the severity of them. I am so very thankful for her knowledge and caring treatment. She is the absolute best!

Overall an excellent visit with Dr Higgenbotham. She was well prepared, very knowledgeable, very patient, very pleasant to speak with, had interesting insights about potential causes of certain symptoms, and had thoughtful recommendations about potential follow up actions. We are very satisfied with Dr Higgenbotham as well as Orla McQuaid; and would readily recommend each of them to other potential patients. Thanks to both Dr H and Orla M!

This was the first time that I had met with Dr. Higginbotham and due to the pending retirement of Dr. Freeman, Dr. Higginbotham mentioned that she would be my neurologist going forward. After spending a little over an hour with Dr. Higginbotham, I was confident that the level of care I have received from Emory would not decrease at all. Similar to Dr. Freeman, Dr. Higginbotham made me feel at ease and did a wonderful job of explaining DBS and Focused Ultrasound. She was very patient and fully answered all of my questions. At no point did I feel rushed or that her attention was anywhere else but on me and my concerns. I am looking forward to working with Dr. Higginbotham on my battle with Parkinson's.
