How it Works

Asking for a Second Opinion After a Diagnosis

After receiving an initial diagnosis from your GP, you may, for a variety of reasons, wish to seek a second opinion. Sometimes this can differ from the original diagnosis, and may therefore require different medications or treatments. But oftentimes a second opinion can match that of the opinion of your original doctor. This is called a confirmation of a diagnosis and can be reassuring as it means that you can confidently move forward with your treatment. At SecondOpinions.ie, we can also provide you with further details on the type and stage of your condition, furnish you with additional advice and discuss other treatment options.  

Asking for a Second Opinion Before Treatment

Did your last doctor’s appointment leave you wondering is surgery really the only option? It’s always a good idea to get a second doctor’s opinion before starting any new medical treatments and especially before undergoing surgery. This is an educational process – the more knowledge you are equipped with about a particular diagnosis and the treatment options available to you, the more capable you will feel when making healthcare decisions. Before you begin your treatment, at SecondOpinions.ie we can provide you with more information regarding your condition and can help to formulate a suitable treatment plan for the future.
