4 Steps to Help You Prepare For a Successful Virtual Second Opinion

Taking the time to proactively prepare for your virtual second opinion can help you gather all the information needed to make an informed decision about your treatment.

If you’ve been diagnosed with a serious, rare, or complex health condition or your doctor has recommended surgery as a treatment option, your next step should be to get a second opinion on both your diagnosis and treatment options. There are several reasons to seek a second opinion. First, it’s important to understand all the treatments that are appropriate for your condition. A second opinion can also lower your risk of being misdiagnosed, experiencing a medical error or receiving inappropriate treatment.
