I chose dentistry because I felt like a different person when I finished orthodontic treatment as a teenager. I had new confidence in my smile and value for what a dentist can do for people. As a dentist, I most enjoy interacting and connecting with people daily. Those interactions allow me to provide quality, comprehensive care while teaching people about the importance of oral health. Each day in a dental office is a different challenge, but the people of Northeast Arkansas make every day a great one!

He gained experience when he was an undergraduate, by being his grandfathers dental assistant on a part-time basis. He enjoyed getting experience while being a dental assistant; from getting people out of pain, to transforming someones smile completely. This is when his passion for dentistry really grew.
He is currently engaged to Dr. Ashton Monks, DDS, and they have a pet Maltese named Pearl. His hobbies include spending time with his family, cheering on the Arkansas Razorbacks, golfing, bowling, and going to the movies. They currently reside in Memphis, Tennessee, and are members of Harvest Church.

He loves getting to live in Kennett and treat the people who live in the community with him, and increasing care to the community as well. Surgical extractions are his favorite procedure to help relieve patients of pain. For those considering the dental field, Dr. Sandoval says it is a long journey but with effort all is possible.

Absolutely best staff and experience I've ever had at a dentist. So attentive and caring and knowledgeable. They were able to see me very quickly in a tough situation and I can't be more appreciative. Dr. Bourgeois and her team were fantastic. The whole process was smooth and quick and convenient. I wish I could mention each person by name to give them the much deserved recognition, however, I was in a bit of a delirious state. Everyone I encountered from reception to insurance paperwork to even a random staff member I encountered in the hall was so accommodating and sweet. I 100% recommend this facility. I will be a regular here now for sure. What a wonderful and trustworthy group of healthcare professionals. Thank you to everyone for taking care of me above and beyond.

Absolutely amazing service, friendly, and willing to listen to any issue or request you may have! Maddy is always professional, gentle, and kind! She introduced me to Higginbotham dental and I couldn't be more thankful. Dr. Fitzhugh is also super professional, and has been able to answer any question I've had regarding previous dental work from other offices. I've never had a long wait, or any complaints with staff. Very comforting for people who have anxiety about the dentist!! Ps- they also play good music!!

I was very impressed with the extremely polite and professional staff. I never do well at the dentist. They were very attentive and the moment I showed any discomfort they were on top of things to make me feel at ease.

Ashley was very helpful on the phone getting me set up as a new patient. Cathy was the dental assistant and walked me through everything that would be happening. Dr B explained as she worked and was very gentle. Thank you for getting me an appointment so fast. It was great to be able to chew on that side again.

I never thought I would ever find a dental office that actually took the time to listen, address concerns , and genuinely cared about the wellbeing of their patients until I started going to Higginbotham Family Dental. Their staff goes above and beyond to ensure you receive the best care from start to finish. From appt reminders weeks out up to the hour before , affordable treatment plans that are actually talked through during appt , to comfort during procedures. My overall health has improved 100% and I no longer dread going to the dentist.

Dr. Fitzhugh has the knowledge & beside manner I was looking for when I came in for a consult. He took the time to listen & was empathetic & offered solutions that my previous dentist didn't do. Maddie was great! She had a very down to earth & sweet personality. As soon as I walked in, the front desk was welcoming & professional. BTW love the Stranger Things Halloween decorations!!

Had to call numerous times about bill to finally get someone on the phone. Was hung up on by Georgia, immediately called back and was sent to voicemail. Left a voicemail, never heard back. Received a text message asking what I needed help with, no response. Was told by Fitzhugh that amalgam replacement fillings would be covered by insurance (nothing was wrong with the amalgam fillings other than being unsightly) , only to be left with a bill of $197.40 out of $318 for two fillings. I REPEATEDLY asked if this would be covered by insurance, was told yes from Fitzhugh and office staff because it was considered preventative care because the current amalgam fillings would later result in root canals. Now Lindsey at the front desk is saying 'nothing is guaranteed' and the office manager Malissa Hoard is laughing at me because I'm upset and she doesn't understand why. How can something go from a charge of $31.80 to $197 and you all expect someone to be okay with it? This literally looks like you all did a bait and switch for your own profit. I was referred to you all by a Bartlett Police officer, I'll relay this information back to him so you don't do this again to someone else. EDIT: It gets worse, the dental office never sent the pre treatment estimate to my insurance provider. The insurance provider stated the amalgam filling replacements wouldn't be covered under preventive care because it was unnecessary to replace them so it would've been denied. Malissa Hoard is now back tracking, stating her office staff went on the insurance provider website to confirm prices. Y'all are a trip.
