Larry Higgins has no boundaries. He has done things while working that I have witnessed that have been not only dangerous to patient care but disregarding patient’s psychological warfare. Dr. Higgins has lowered people in his practice by offering them controlled substances and keeping them Dependent. In my opinion Larry Higgins is a very dangerous doctor and human being. Go somewhere else!

insists on unnecessary appointments for routine items, and the office is disorganized. Seems to not be in the office as much lately.

If I could have given Dr. Higgins and his staff over 10 stars for each category rating, I honestly would have.Dr. Higgins is an authentically kind, caring, and competent physician. He's a brilliant man with a sense of humor that has you relaxed in minutes! Such a good and compassionate man he is, I can't tell which he endows more of: a heart or a brain. In both areas, he exceeds even the very best and the absolute brightest.The man is universally loved by all, and for good reason: He is thorough, he is informed, very up-to-date on the latest knowledge that seems to perpetually emerge from the medical field, and his demeanor is one that never hesitates to listen, really and truly listen, when it comes to giving the patient the full time and attention that they need.If the world could clone Dr. Lawrence Higgins ten times over, it would be a blessing for so many. For now, though, he remains a God-sent blessing to his patients in the New York area.
