Bio & Overview

Kimberly Higginbotham, PA, is a physician assistant working with patients with sports-related orthopedic injuries and issues at UVA Health.

“My approach to healthcare is a knowledge-driven, patient-centered strategy,” she shares. “I think that it is important to get to know my patients so that I can understand the concerns and how that is affecting their life. The goal is to live better and to feel better. I believe in exhausting conservative treatment before surgical intervention. I really enjoy helping to develop a plan of action to recovery with the patient.”

Higginbotham received her graduate degree from Campbell University in North Carolina. She’s spent most of her career working alongside sports medicine and total joint replacement surgeons.

“I have always felt drawn to help people,” she says. “I wanted to be a part of the patient’s story and becoming a PA allows me to be an integral part of that story by helping to understand, diagnose, and treat people.”

Kimberly was the best provider I've seen at this clinic for my shoulder. I was super worried about my injection and she was so calm and understanding. She seemed genuinely concerned about how my other conditions played into my shoulder injury and listened carefully and answered all my questions.
