What is Second Opinion
A second opinion is when you seek the advice of another doctor, medical specialist, or healthcare professional. You can compare the medical advice and determine whether the second opinion is comparable to or identical to that of your usual doctor or expert. This might offer you confidence if both physicians agree, or it can give you a new perspective on your health situation and medical alternatives.
When to get?
You can get a second opinion if you’re not sure about a doctor’s medical advice or diagnosis. If you’re confused about a diagnosis or medical treatment choice, or if you just want to be sure that the therapy you’ve planned is the best option for you, you may get a second opinion.
Second opinions become very useful when you are faced with one or more of the following situations.

- Second/Repeat surgery is recommended
- Questioning whether surgery is the only option
- Having trouble talking to your current doctor(s)
