We met Dr. Higgins in Syracuse, NY during the late 90s. He was the most extraordinary neurosurgeon our family had ever met and we had been all over the country for answers. Kindness patience, and immeasurable compassion coupled with extraordinary brilliance we felt as if an angel had come into our lives. Our young son felt safe in his care as did we as his anxious parents. Meeting Dr. Higgins was the first time we were able to breathe and believe in our son’s future. He always wrote with a fountain pen and signed his letters “The Grace of God.” We are incredibly saddened to learn of his passing. He was a remarkable man. May his family be comforted with the knowledge he changed the lives of children and their families with such a loving and positive spirit. We truly loved him. The Mastroe family- Syracuse, NY
