I'm not perfect in my own health journey—and that's exactly why I can help you with yours.

I'm Dr. Karla Higginbotham, a board-certified family physician with over 10 years of experience and a proud third-generation doctor. But here's what really matters: I've learned that the best healthcare happens when we stop pretending doctors have all the answers and start building real partnerships with our patients.

My approach is simple—we're a team. When you come to me, we're having a team meeting with the same goal in mind: getting you to the healthiest, happiest version of yourself. I don't judge where you're starting from because I know firsthand that health isn't about perfection—it's about progress.

I became a doctor through a non-traditional path. I taught in a GED program, worked in clinical research, and even became a mom during my Chief Residency. Those experiences taught me that real health involves everything—your mental health, your stress, your relationships, your job, and yes, what's happening in the world around you. It's all connected.
