About Andrew Higgins, MD

He provides care for a wide range of urologic conditions using both surgical and nonsurgical approaches.

Care philosophy

I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to medicine. Each patient is unique, and I tailor care to their individual needs and preferences. I take time to explain the cause and treatment options for each condition so patients can make informed choices and feel confident in their care.
