In addition to special interest in women’s wellness, fertility therapy, and adolescent gynecology, Dr. Biggerstaff performs advanced laparoscopic surgery (a form of minimally invasive surgery). New technologies have significantly improved the treatment of many conditions. Many gynecologic surgeries can be done today using laparoscopic surgery, or what is commonly referred to as "laser surgery." Many of these procedures no longer require the relatively large incision and prolonged recovery time of traditional surgery. Instead, small incisions (or no incisions) can frequently be made to perform surgery, often on an outpatient basis, with less discomfort and frequently fewer risks.

Dr. Biggerstaff grew up in Charleston, South Carolina and graduated from Clemson University in 1968. Dr. Biggerstaff received his medical degree from The Medical University of South Carolina in 1972 and completed his residency training at Madigan Army Medical Center in Tacoma, Washington in 1976. After ten years on Active Duty, he, along with his wife and two children, returned to the South and he began practice in Savannah in 1982. His interests outside of medicine and his family include fly fishing, photography, cooking (with a preference for Northern Italian cuisine), and music.

His most recent endeavor is to learn to play bluegrass-style fiddle after he inherited a family violin.  A dream, for the future, would be to go to Ireland and play Celtic music with the locals. The "apples of his eye" are his three grandchildren, currently ages 4, 1 ½, and 9 months. When asked how long he intends to practice medicine, “probably another 10 or 15 years or so.  Why stop doing something you really enjoy?  So far, the Lord has blessed me with good health.”
