Get a second opinion from a pediatric surgeon
There’s a lot to think about when your child needs surgery and you are choosing a pediatric surgeon. Our team of highly experienced pediatric surgeons can provide you with a second opinion on surgical treatment options, so you can find the right care plan and care team for you. Your second opinion appointment gives you the opportunity to talk through all of your questions and concerns. We'll work closely with you and your child’s doctor, to deliver the care that is right for your child.
Before your appointment, check with your insurance company to find out if a second opinion is covered or required. We can request your child’s medical records from their doctor on your behalf, so that they can be shared with your care team before your arrival.
