Need a Second Opinion?

Second Opinions Are Often Important. 

We understand serious conditions can be confusing. Also, when faced with health concerns, medical decisions can also be frightening. 

Getting a second opinion is often a good idea where complex surgical decisions need to be made. 

A Clear Understanding

Knowing all your options, and asking more questions should be part of the decision process. 


A second opinion can also help provide peace of mind.


Getting a second opinion from another doctor will not offend your current doctor, it is simply a means of empowering and educating yourself about your condition and your options. 


What a Second Opinion Offers

For patients looking for a second opinion, we will confirm your diagnosis and either offer a similar treatment path to your first opinion or we may offer other choices.

Not all surgeons or hospitals have access to the most advanced technology or have specialised training to perform minimally invasive or advanced surgeries.

A second opinion can often expand your treatment options. Some choices could include: 
  • Progressive diagnostics
  • Advanced techniques  
  • Minimally invasive procedures
  • New surgical technologies 
  • Different Procedural locations
  • Different Post Op Care Programs

Second Opinion Goals

Your goal is to gain clarity and work with a team of experts who can guide you on your decision path. Our expert Review and Report process offer:
  • Accuracy
  • Reliability
  • Currency
  • Correct information
  • Confirm Your Diagnosis
Whether a second opinion confirms your pathway or suggests additional tests, being clear about your next step is important.

Some conditions look alike on initial imaging, and an accurate diagnosis is absolutely critical to creating the best treatment plan. If we have any reason to believe your diagnosis needs confirmation, we may recommend additional advanced imaging or other tests to verify your condition.

Assess Your Risk

Further considerations that we could use in your assessment are
  • Risk - Different treatment options carry different risks
  • Age and Health - treatment options often depend on a patient’s age and general health, medical and family history
  • [surgeon] offers a second opinion report that includes your individual risk factors.
  • Make a Recommendation
We will supply a written report with clear recommendations about a course of treatment that is believed to be best for you.
