Should I Get a Second Opinion?

Your Care, Your Choice

You take your care seriously, and so should the provider you choose. When dealing with a bone, joint, or muscle problem, whether from sports, work-related activities, or daily life,  you deserve to have all the answers you need and all your options available to you. Care decisions for you and your loved ones can be difficult and stressful, and seeking a second opinion with another provider will help make your decision easier so your next steps are more clear.

At Aspen Orthopedic Specialists, we are committed to offering the compassionate, experienced care you deserve, every step of the way. We know that your care is your choice, and we are here to offer you and your loved ones the experience, expertise, and peace of mind you need to make the choice that is right for you and your goals so you can get back to being there for the moments that matter most.  

Reasons to Seek a Second Opinion

Every patient is unique and deserves to know what options are available to them, as well as an expert they can trust to develop a plan for their specific needs and goals. Many patients seek a second opinion to find a doctor who earns their trust and confidence. If a second opinion involves the same diagnosis and a similar treatment plan, patients can be more certain of their next steps. 

Additionally, recommended treatment plans may differ between providers, and many bone, joint, and muscle problems can involve complex injuries or rare conditions that may be misdiagnosed. Some providers are more experienced in treating certain injuries and conditions and can provide a higher level of expertise. Consulting another expert can help clarify the diagnosis, explore alternative therapies, and confirm the most effective course of action.

Finally, a second opinion will help you feel more comfortable with your healthcare choices overall. You can have a better informed decision for your next steps and move forward with better trust in the provider you choose, knowing they will have the best ability to walk you through your entire treatment and recovery process.
