What Is A Second Opinion?

A second opinion is what it sounds like. If you’ve received a diagnosis, and even if surgery has been completed, but you still experience pain or have doubts then you may seek a doctor more experienced in your condition.

Some questions you might consider when seeking a second opinion include:

  • How serious is your condition?
  • Have you seen an improvement following your first procedure?
  • Is follow-up surgery necessary?

Why Is A Second Opinion Given?

A second opinion can provide you with relief, and calm your worries – or it can ensure you receive the treatment that you need.

The best time to get a second opinion after your surgery is as soon as possible. In fact, the sooner the better. It’s important to give yourself sufficient reassurance to achieve greater peace of mind.
