Second opinion

A second opinion is the opinion or advice of a medical specialist other than your treating physician. If you have doubts about your doctor's diagnosis or proposed treatment, you can ask for such a second opinion. It also happens that your treating physician suggests that you ask for the opinion of another physician.
