When you face a serious or terminal illness, you should consider getting a second opinion from Integrated MD Care.
In addition to giving you recommendations, they go a step beyond to ensure that your treatment plan falls in line with your values and preferences. These goals are integral to receiving exceptional long-term and end-of-life care.
A second opinion also helps when:
A second opinion is often beneficial if your diagnosing physician doesn’t take a whole-person or integrative approach to medicine and you’re interested in all your therapeutic options.
Patients are sometimes uncomfortable about asking for a second opinion, but your diagnosing doctor won’t take offense. Second opinions are routine and encouraged when patients face a serious disease or difficult decision about their medical care.
While you can call Integrated MD Care at any time, it’s often best to talk with your current doctor first because you need to request a copy of your medical records, diagnostic tests, and lab work. When giving a second opinion, the Integrated MD Care team needs to have as much information as possible about your condition.
The Integrated MD Care team treats you as a whole person rather than a bunch of symptoms or a preexisting diagnosis. The providers evaluate your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health to make the best possible recommendation for your ongoing care.
