We are currently experiencing a technical issue that is impacting our ability to receive faxes. As a result, clinical documentation and prescription requests sent via fax may not be received. Our team is actively working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible, though we do not yet have an estimated time for resolution. In the meantime, we encourage patients to use the patient portal for prescription refill requests or to call your primary care provider for any urgent needs. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding as we work to restore our systems.

My name is Andrea Higgins, and I am thrilled to be a physician in InterMed's Internal Medicine practice. The most rewarding part of my job is seeing patients meet their health goals and enjoy a greater quality of life.

 

I chose internal medicine and primary care because I love science and physiology and I cherish the opportunity to build lasting relationships with the people in my community.

 

I get to help patients prevent, manage and reverse chronic disease and support them through difficult diagnoses. Medicine is always changing and there is always more to learn.

 

I am originally from Madison, Wisconsin, but fell in love with New England. I relocated here with my wonderful husband, our toddler, newborn and dog after completing my internal medicine residency in the primary care track at Brown University.

 

We look forward to being closer to family and becoming part of the Portland community. We're excited to spend time on the water, travel to new places and explore all the outdoor activities Maine has to offer, especially hiking and skiing.
