PROVIDING SECOND OPINIONS
The Centre is attracting patients on a regular basis for second opinions regarding the diagnosis of their conditions or treatment options given to them. Asking a new doctor for a second opinion does not necessarily mean a patient is disloyal to his or her existing GP. Nor does it mean that the patient is moving to a new practice. It could simply mean, they are looking for a second set of eyes to look over their medical illness to ensure that their condition is diagnosed as accurately as possible and to receive the best treatment available in a timely manner. Our doctors are very happy to offer 2nd opinions.
If an individual is interested to come for a 2nd opinion, they should ask the receptionist for a longer appointment (30 minutes) and should bring along with them (if available) a health summary, copies of pathology and radiology tests done prior.
