Dr. Geoffrey Bessom Higgs, MD

In my opinion he is the best orthopedic surgeon

He is the best orthopedic surgery that I know.

I have been to just about every knee specialist in Richmond Va. Surgeons orthopedic everywhere and Not one came close to the care and pain relief I got from Dr.Higgs!! I’m seriously thinking of flying to Texas!!

Dr Higgs preformed rotator cuff surgery on my right shoulder along with a bicep tendon repair, subacrommial decompression, etc. i attended pt for a year and saw dr higgs monthly. i received multiple cortisone injections, and to no avail, my shoulder continues to hurt and cause limitations. now, nearly 3 years later, i continue to suffer....got another opinion....lo and behold my rotator cuff is completely torn and requires surgery. following shoulder surgery, i developed severe left leg pain which dr higgs assured me he could do a quick fix....an it band release. i trusted his expertise and had surgery. now, not only do i have unbearable left leg pain, but i have a 5 inch scar on my left thigh. after dr higgs left the practice, i determined from another doctor that my leg pain was coming from my back...collasped disc at l5 S1.. needless to say i would never recommend dr higgs or orthova, none of their doctors helped me.

Dr higgs is the best

Dr. Higgs has treated me for 3 different orthopedic problems, and in each case, care was competent, prompt, and satisfactory. In addition, he is a war ...

Dr Higgs is awesome...his staff is mediocre but he makes up for them by far.

Dr. Higgs made me feel at ease the moment that I met him. I knew that something was wrong with my shoulder; however, I had no idea that the issue would lead to surgery. I had researched orthopedists on line and selected Dr. Higgs because of his experience and positive write-ups. On the day of the surgery, Dr. Higgs & all of the staff members in the operating area were true professionals and made me feel very comfortable before the surgery. I have recommended Dr. Higgs to several of my friends, and I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs an orthopedist. He is an A+++++ doctor!

Having three different arthroscopic surgeries over the past several years, all at different facilities, Dr. Higgs and his entire medical staff at Advanced Orthopedics provided the utmost outstanding service. His vast amount of experience regarding specific joints of the body was crucial to successfully repair the extensive damage to my shoulder. The professional, courteous, and compassionate manner of Dr. Higgs and his team is truly exemplary!

I'm very happy that Dr Higgs was recommended to me by other family members that have gone to him. I was diagnosed with two meniscus tears & bone on bone, which will eventually lead to knee replacement. After therapy & a few other things he relooked my MRI and we decided to fix the tears, in hopes it could give me enough relief to buy me some time before having to do knee replacement. Dr Higgs performed this surgery about 6 weeks ago & it did give me some relief. Dr Higgs is very professional & cares about his patients. He has a good "bedside manner" which puts you at ease & you know he has your best interest at heart. I had an awesome experience with the procedure with him & his staff as well as the surgical staff at the Schrader Rd location. I highly recommend him

I had an Authrosuface HemiCAP Implant 7 weeks ago. I had extreme pain in my shoulder whenever I tried to use my arm. It felt like small sharp rocks in there and whenever I raised my arm it crunched on the rocks. To start, I am EXTREMELY impressed with the surgery! I needed little pain medication. I am now 7 weeks out and I can move my arm with NO crunching . I was in the sling for 6 weeks which was tough for me. Dr. Higgs did a GREAT JOB and I am thankful I had this procedure done. He also had to detach and re-attach the biceps tendon. I am still going to PT Solutions for physical therapy and I have been progressing with EVERY visit. Again, I am only 7 weeks out from surgery. I am amazed with my progress and cannot say enough about how happy I am with Dr. Higgs and the procedure on my shoulder. THANK YOU for giving me back use of my left shoulder!

I have to say Doctor Highs is amazing at what he does. He is courteous, compassionate, and does not sugar coat things. He gets down to the root of the problem and fixes it. He is thorough and knows each and every one of his patients. I had my knee scoped after repeated attempts to find a solution to the problem. A cartilage tear was found and repaired that did not show up on x-ray or mri. I am now one month post op and doing great, pain free, and back to being normal. Precautions will be needed to follow for maintaining progress but Dr. Higgs gave me back the ability to be active and take care of my boys. He is not a pill pusher like some of these other doctors, and he personally called me the day after surgery to follow up and see if there were any questions or concerns that I had.

I find Dr. Higgs to be a compassionate, caring physician. I have had both of my knee worked on by Dr. Higgs and I don't believe I could be walking without his expertise in knee surgery. I will return in the future if need arises.

I have had trouble with my knees for years. I moved back to a small town that has no gyms, fitness centers of any kind. I have gained weight and of course my knees got much worse. I had gotten shot after shot, and been told they needed to be replaced, that was all that would help, that and losing weight which they all said gastric by pass would help. By God's grace I found Dr. Higgs and he has me walking better than in years, I've lost weight and still feeling better. The lubricant shots helped me so much, I am so blessed to have found him.

Dr. Higgs is the complete package of expertise, medical skills, and bedside manner. He's the best!

I would definitely recommend Dr. Higgs to anyone who is in need of services. The office staff was always very nice and the wait time was five minutes or less no matter of the time my appointment was scheduled. Hopefully I will not need another surgery, but if there was ever a time that I did or if I had another injury I would make sure I go back to Dr. Higgs for service.

I don't know if there is enough room on this to say all there is to say about Dr. Higgs. If you can think back into yester year when doctors practiced for the love of making someone better and genuinely cared about their patients.. well this is one of those doctors only in todays era. I trust Dr. Higgs with everything he does and he says. He has done wonders with my son, who is blind, and has had to have knee surgery and both shoulders rebuilt . The caring, diligence, understanding, and professionalism with both him and his whole office is above and beyond what a good deal of physicians are today. He is one who "takes the time" and "truly cares" about his patients no matter who they are or what walk of life. I could go on and on but if you are needing a truthful diagnosis, with a truthful remedy good or bad, from a "CARING" professional you do not want to go anywhere else or see anyone else. God Bless you Dr. Higgs for being the person you are and the OUTSTANDING physician that you are...

Laura, the physicisn's assistant, was nice and gave me some exercises to do at home, which are helping. I would like to have had more time with Dr. Higgs, though, since he's the doctor and the expert.

Dr. Higgs has to be one of the best Drs I have had to deal with.

every facet of my medical experience with Dr Higgs and his team has been superb. The same goes with my son in 2002 -acl ncl surgery. No bad comments at all. I will absolutely refer Dr. Higgs anyday. Thank you all so much for everything you have done for me and my family. God Bless!!
