The Success Rate of Second Opinions
What you define as “success” when it comes to a second opinion may vary. Some of the reasons why patients seek a second opinion include:
- Confirming a diagnosis
- Finding alternative treatment options
- Seeking a fresh perspective on their case
- Easing anxiety and providing peace of mind
- Taking control of their health journey
In some cases, a virtual second opinion can lead to an entirely new diagnosis or treatment plan recommendation. However, for some patients, a second opinion confirms that their current diagnosis and treatment plan are the best course of action. We’d consider both outcomes a success—the patient has clarity and confidence in their care plan, whether that means continuing with their current treatment or making a change based on the second opinion.
