I've been a patient of Dr Higley'e since I was 11. He has always been very upfront and realistic with me and makes sure I understand everything before I leave as well as answering any questions that may arise after my visit. I have already reccomended him to several people. I am always satisfied with the care he provides and his concern for my well being. plus he's hilarious! A very good people person.

Dr Higley gave me great options to deal with my anxiety and to quit smoking. He explained possible side effects and told me to reach out if I experienced any. My wife and kids came with me to my appointment and my kids were a bit rambunctious. Dr Higley did not show any annoyance and even joked and made my kids laugh. fantastic doctor.

The telephone circus to get to the appointment clerk is totally a pain in the ear! I don't need to hear any more commercials about Cleveland Clinic - I want to talk to the scheduler, one that does plain English, not East Indian or Ebonics, and not after a long hold time. With respect to Dr. Higley, I followed him to the Cleveland Clinic, and I will follow him anywhere. I totally appreciate his demeanor, his honesty, his ability to express in terms that I understand what the problem with my health is, and his knowledge of his profession.

Why does it take 6+ weeks to get an appointment with my family doctor? I think the Cleveland Clinic is just trying to push through more patients, and the quality of the relationship with my family doctor is suffering. We have been going to Dr. Higgley since my oldest child was born, and the inability to schedule an appointment within a week or two is causing me to seriously consider finding another doctor. We don't want a relationship with a company, but with a specific medical provider.

I love Dr. Higley as he is very caring and understanding. He treats you like a friend and you feel like he cares. He is always aware that money is tight for us and is very helpful to try to work with us when ordering RX, testing, etc. However since Falls Family practice was taken over by Cleveland clinic it is much harder to get timely appointments.
Reviewed on Aug 30, 2018
We have been patients of Dr. Higley for eight or nine years. We feel he is an excellent clinician, and as long- time patients, we want to see him instead of other clinicians. While we understand this isn't always a possibility, we do get frustrated when we have to wait several weeks to get an appointment with him.

Scheduling has been an absolute nightmare since Falls Family merged with Cleveland clinic. I am extremely disappointed that the process is no longer quick or easy and the couple of times I have needed to make appointments I have had to schedule at least a month out which was never be case before. We will be looking for a new provider that can actually see us in a timely manner and doesn't make us feel like just another number.
