Nick Higinbotham, D.O.
I am excited to join the team at the Orthopaedic Center of the Virginias and look forward to providing quality care in a close-knit community. I diagnose and treat a wide variety of orthopedic problems in patients of all ages with a particular interest in fracture care, hip and knee replacement, rotator cuff repair, ligament reconstruction and carpal tunnel release.
Personal:
I have been married to my wife, Katrina, for 2 years. We have two dogs, Charley and Oliver, and are excited to welcome our first child in January 2023. We enjoy camping, hiking, traveling and spending time with our families.
