The Advantages of a Qualified Second Opinion

When your orthopedic health is on the line, it’s always a good idea to get a second opinion from another expert. Getting a fresh pair of eyes on your condition can cut down on human error. A second opinion decreases the risk of incorrect diagnosis and can help you avoid costly, unnecessary treatments and surgeries.

Most doctors recommend searching out a second opinion, especially for complicated or recurring issues. It’s important to get multiple perspectives on these problems. A diagnosis from a second doctor can sometimes be completely different from your original diagnosis. In many cases, a patient’s condition requires the seasoned eyes of a foot and ankle specialists with decades of experience. That is what the University Foot and Ankle Institute bring to your table.

Here are a few common conditions and treatments that usually benefit from a second opinion:

• Previous unsuccessful treatment or surgery

• Chronic ankle instability and reconstructive tendon repair

• Bunion surgery

• Ankle replacement

• Flat foot reconstruction

• Ankle and big toe arthritis

• Regenerative therapies: stem cell, amniotic cell, and platelet-rich plasma

Our foot and ankle specialists are available remotely to help you consider all of the options available to you. A second opinion can assist you in making the right decision for you or your loved one, putting you on track towards effective treatment and a quick recovery.
