Second Medical Opinion

After medical diagnosis, the doctor will explain the diagnosis, disease and treatments in detail. However, patients may get difficulties in understanding the medical jargons, pros and cons of various medical treatments, risk of each treatment, etc, and thus fail to make a decision right at the moment.

Seeking a Second Medical Opinion could help patients know more about the diagnosis, disease and treatment options, so that one can further make the life-defining decision that best suits him/herself.

Importance of Second Medical Opinion

Confirm the diagnosis to be correct and well-defined

Confirm all required diagnostic tests to be completed

List out all possible treatment options and relevant risk

Eliminate unnecessary invasive procedure or treatment

Plan for future medical care and rehabilitation in advanced
