Specialized Second Opinion
An independent review of a diagnosis or of a surgical plan already proposed, so you can decide with complete information.
Asking for a second opinion is not distrusting your doctor: it is a normal and advisable step in oncology, where stage, surgical technique and the order of treatments change the outcome. Many insurers even request one.
I review your studies and reports before the appointment. During the consultation I explain what I see, whether or not I agree with the proposed plan, and why. You receive the assessment in writing.
Pathology and biopsy reports, imaging with its interpretation, a clinical summary or medical notes, and the plan that has already been proposed to you.
A second opinion does not mean changing doctors. If the proposed plan is the right one, I will tell you so.
Does your case belong here?
Write to me with your studies at hand and we will review them before the appointment.
