Doctors are human: Sometimes, they make mistakes. Sometimes, they simply don’t consider all the options that are available for your particular diagnosis. It’s good to get a second opinion, because there are many different options for treatment, not just one. You should not feel hesitant about getting a second opinion; in fact, you should tell your doctor that you intend to. This makes it easier for your current doctor to share your medical history with any other physician you decide to visit.

Get a 2nd Opinion

Ultimately, the choice for what kind of treatment you receive is entirely up to you. Dr. Warner knows that an informed patient is the best patient – and believes that you should be fully informed about what treatment options are available to you.

If you are uncertain about your doctor’s treatment plan or would feel more comfortable with an affirmation from another physician, Warner Orthopedics & Wellness can help you.
