Your Best Choice for a Second Opinion
Your Care Comes First
You might feel that seeking a second opinion could offend the doctor who made your diagnosis. However, your doctor will understand that with something as significant as cancer or other serious illnesses, it is acceptable for anyone to seek another opinion before making decisions and starting treatment.
Being open and honest is a critical part of the doctor/patient relationship, so you should keep your doctor(s) aware of your decision to seek a second opinion. Any doctor who is offended by your decision to get another opinion may not be someone you want caring for you because, at the end of the day, our goal is to see patients get better – regardless of where they seek care.
The same holds true if your initial consultation was with a cancer specialist at Health Specialists of New Mexico. If you wish to obtain a second opinion elsewhere, we not only understand, but if you wish, we will help to arrange that for you.
