WHAT IS SECOND OPINION?

---

A second opinion is when a doctor, other than your regular physician, provides his or her view about your health issues. Getting a second opinion can help you make a more informed decision about your care.

 

WHEN SHOULD I SEEK A SECOND OPINION?

---

If your doctor informs you that you need surgery to diagnose or treat a health problem that isn’t an emergency, you should consider getting a second opinion. It is entirely up to you to decide when and if you will have surgery. You might also want a second opinion if your doctor advises you that you should have certain types of major non-surgical procedures.
