Why to get a Second opinion?

It is always a smart decision to get a second opinion to receive an accurate diagnosis and the best treatment options. A decent consultant will never get offended if you are willing to get a second opinion. About 88% of patients had a different diagnosis and treatment after the second consultation.
Giving exact details of your diagnosis and treatment to the doctor with whom you are seeking the second consultation is very important.

Ensure you have all the necessary information and reports while consulting. These information may include:

• Copies of test reports and findings
• If you have a history of surgery then a copy of the postoperative report
• The discharge summary, if you were hospitalized before
• Detailed summary of your current treatment regimen
• Details of your present medication and dosage schedule
