Patient Reviews
Apr 20, 2024
Dr. Hightower has saved my life! At every visit, she reviews my labs and makes adjustments to my current treatment plan to meet my type-two diabetic targets. She goes the extra step by listening to my concerns with a compassionate demeanor that has allowed me to feel like I am important because she truly cares! My medications and insulin have been adjusted over the 3 years that I have known her. Her referrals to other specialty doctors has been my blessing too! I would recommend Dr Erica Hightower to anyone looking for a highly professional, competent, intelligent diabetes doctor in the Houston area! The longer drive to her office, is worth the time and mileage!
