Confirm the diagnosis
Determine if you have considered all possible treatment options and if there are any other nonsurgical or less invasive options.
If surgery is necessary, what type of surgery should be performed? You may not need a complex surgery that was initially recommended.
Are you a candidate for new minimally invasive procedure that would provide a better outcome and a more rapid recovery?
Do you qualify for a minimally invasive same-day surgical procedure, that would allow you to be home later that same afternoon, for a faster recovery and return to activity?
Could you benefit from a second opinion? And is it worth the time and expense to travel to a specialty orthopedic center?

Oftentimes, the second opinion is covered by the insurance plan. At NYC Orthopedic Group, we open our doors for all patients who need to talk with an experienced and knowledgeable orthopedic doctor to confirm their diagnosis, or to find a better, more suitable treatment.

For Agents & Athletes & Teams

Is It Too Late To Seek A Second Opinion?

What if you begin receiving treatment and then decide that you would like to get a second opinion? Is it too late? No. It is best to seek a second opinion soon after a condition or problem is diagnosed. However, it is never too late, even after treatment with the exception of surgery has begun.
