Why You Should Get a Second Opinion
If you’re at all unsure about your diagnosis or if any aspect of your treatment plan makes you uncomfortable, getting a second opinion will give you the peace of mind you need to move forward. There are several distinct advantages about seeing Dr. Fraiman and his team for a second opinion:
- Receive Confirmation About a Diagnosis: Before jumping ahead with treatment, it’s essential to ensure you’re on the right path. This will eliminate all “what-ifs” and give you the confidence and knowledge you need to make an informed decision about your health.
- Review Treatment Plans: Even if you’ve already heard some options for treating your condition, Dr. Fraiman will review every aspect of your plan and even explore alternative treatments that you and other professionals may not have considered.
- Select a Course of Action: Once you have a second opinion, you will have the peace of mind to make a decision that’s in your best interest.
Where to Get a Second Opinion
Once you receive your initial diagnosis, you will probably be anxious to get a second opinion as quickly as possible. However, it’s important that you turn to someone who can provide a trusted evaluation of your condition and alleviate any fears you may be experiencing.
Some of the characteristics you should look for in a physician or surgeon who can offer a second opinion include:
- Credible: Find a doctor who is board-certified with many years of experience in their field.
- Responsive: Many conditions, especially cancer diagnoses, require prompt attention. When you find a physician who can provide you with a second opinion, be sure they can see you as soon as possible.
- Superior Techniques: Do a little digging into this surgeon’s credentials and ensure they’re using the latest technology and most cutting-edge techniques.
- Personalized, Compassionate Care: In this day and age, patient reviews are readily accessible online. See what the physician’s patients are saying about them. Do they really care?
