What is a second opinion?

A second opinion is when you ask another doctor, specialist or health care professional for his or her opinion. You may ask for it if you are unsure about a diagnosis or medical treatment option, or if you just want to confirm that the planned treatment is your best option. You can compare the medical advice and see if the second opinion is similar or the same as your regular doctor or specialist.

PACE.MD has created physician-to-physician second opinion reviews to guide and support referring to physicians’ treatment recommendations.
