Orthopedic Consult

No Insurance, Better For You

Here at SecondLook Ortho, our virtual consultations are designed to replace more expensive visits to a doctor’s office or emergency room. Our payment process is secure, user friendly, and saves you money.

1. When does an Orthopedic second opinion make sense?

   • When your doctor doesn’t have the required specialist knowledge for your condition.
   • When various doctors have given you different recommendations and you need help making a decision.
   • When you haven’t received a clear diagnosis or therapy recommendation.
   • When your surgeon has recommended a major operation and you want to make sure that it’s the best way to help you.
   • When you feel that you haven’t been given enough information about your planned treatment.
   • When the suggested treatment promises no significant improvement to your condition.
   • When you want to find out if there are other treatment options you can pursue.
   

2. Am I putting my relationship with my current doctor at risk?

   Getting a second opinion is a simple routine part of medicine. In fact, your physician may also be seeking one or more additional opinions. Doctors ask their colleagues for consults and advice/opinions all the time. Sometimes a fresh pair of eyes and a new perspective help if you’ve had a long-standing relationship with a patient. Many patients think that seeking a second opinion somehow indicates a lack of trust, rather than a desire to confirm what their doctor has told them and explore opinions their doctor either might not have access to or be aware of.

   

3. What joints are included? What about Spine injuries or problems?

   The joints covered include: shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands, fingers, hips, knees and ankles. Unfortunately, spine injuries are not covered for consultations.

   

4. How long will it take for me to receive my opinion / consultation?
