Getting a second opinion from another expert is a common and reasonable approach. Medical professionals understand and typically welcome opinions from other experts. There are several common reasons to seek a second opinion.   

• The diagnosis is unclear, or it is a complex condition.   
• The condition is not responding to the current treatment.  
• You feel uncomfortable with a diagnosis or treatment plan.  

Whatever the reason, having another expert’s opinion can help you feel more knowledgeable and confident when taking the next steps to care for your child. To request a second opinion from Gillette Children's, call 651-290-8707 or fill out the second opinion request form.
