A second opinion from our best in class NYC orthopedic surgeons and sports medicine specialists can provide you the following benefits:

  • Determine if you have considered all possible treatment options and if there are any other nonsurgical or less invasive options.
  • If surgery is necessary, what type of surgery should be performed? You may not need a complex surgery that was initially recommended.
  • Are you a candidate for new minimally invasive procedure that would provide a better outcome and a more rapid recovery?
  • Do you qualify for a minimally invasive same-day surgical procedure, that would allow you to be home later that same afternoon, for a faster recovery and return to activity?
  • Could you benefit from a second opinion? And is it worth the time and expense to travel to an specialty orthopedic center?

When Should You Get a Second Opinion? Unless your condition is life threatening and requires emergency care, it is never a bad idea to seek a second opinion. In many cases, seeking a second opinion is not only warranted, but necessary. These circumstances include anytime the following occurs:

  • Agents & Athletes confirm team Physician assessment.
  • Surgery is one of the treatment options suggested
  • Numerous possible treatment options are available
  • After consulting with your doctor or another orthopedic surgeon, you still have a number of unanswered questions
  • You are told by the doctor or another orthopedic surgeon that a specific type of treatment cannot be used to treat your condition
  • You are told by the doctor or orthopedic surgeon that nothing or nothing more can be done to treat your condition
  • Your condition returns after treatment
  • A cause for your symptoms is not found, but the symptoms continue
  • You feel that there is something wrong with the diagnosis or suggested treatment for your condition

For Agents & Athletes & Teams: Dr. Glashow’s extensive experience with professional and elite athletes may prove advantageous in sorting out the least invasive and most effective treatment. This may enable athletes to return to play more quickly.

Is It Too Late To Seek A Second Opinion? What if you begin receiving treatment and then decide that you would like to get a second opinion? Is it too late? No. It is best to seek a second opinion soon after a condition or problem is diagnosed. However, it is never too late, even after treatment—with the exception of surgery—has begun.
