Dr. Higgins is Greg Heffley's pediatrician who is mentioned during the events of Double Down.
Greg says that he doesn't want to grow up to become a doctor, as Dr. Higgins sucks snot out of small children's noses for a living.[2]
Trivia[]
- Greg's assertion that Dr. Higgins is the only doctor he knows is an inaccuracy, since at least three doctors had been mentioned by him up to this point in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, those being Dr. Garrison in Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Dr. Kratz in Rodrick Rules, and Dr. Kagan in The Ugly Truth. This is most likely an error on Jeff Kinney's part.
- It's possible that Dr. Higgins is related to Duane Higgins or Christine Higgins, as they share a last name.
