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.”

Ms. Higginbotham was very professional, asked many questioned and listened to the answers, and provided a thorough exam of my knee. There was also a PA in training with her who was at her first orthopedic appointment. She also had a professional, friendly manner.
