Second Opinions
When you have received a surgical or even a non-surgical opinion, you may want to seek the advice of another spine specialist to determine your best option. Our physicians welcome second opinion appointments.
Why Seek A Second Opinion
Spinal-related conditions are complex and there area variety of treatment options available. As a result, patients find themselves with many questions and no clear-cut answers. And the treatment selected can have a long-term impact on your health and quality of life. If you or someone you know have been diagnosed with a spine-related problem — particularly one for which surgery, epidural injections, discography or any other invasive procedure has been recommended — it is wise to get a second opinion. A fresh set of expert eyes will help you confirm the diagnosis, identify all of the treatment options, and better understand the potential risks and benefits of them. And, it will give you peace of mind knowing that you are actively involved in your care and making the best decision possible. Many patients are afraid to seek a second opinion, because they don’t want to offend their physician. In reality, a good doctor understands the value of a second opinion and wants you to be fully informed and comfortable with your decision about treatment.
