"Well, I finally had my consult on 8-13-03. I was sooo pleasently suprised at what a nice, and funny man he is! I know they say that surgeons usually don't have much of a personality but Dr. Higa was definitly the exception. The office staff was friendly and time efficient for the most part. They took my early and i was out of there pretty quick. He really answered most of my questions. And i never felt once like he was in a rush to get out of there. I did leave without a good idea of my post-op diet issues. But he assures me before i leave the hospital i will have more than enough info on that. overall I think i am very grateful to have him as my surgeon. And would reccomend him to anyone."
