What Second Opinion Clinic Can Offer You

A Better Understanding

Patients, especially those with a serious diagnosis, have the right to seek a second opinion. According to the American Cancer Society, it's common for patients to request a second opinion, so most doctors are comfortable with the idea. Some insurers even require a second opinion for certain diagnoses.

A second opinion can offer:

A better understanding of your diagnosis, treatment options, and prognosis.
A new assessment from a doctor whose approach may be more or less aggressive then your primary physician, and who may know of alternative treatments.
Reassurance that the original treatment plan is your best option.
