Paul MacKoul MD:Second Opinions are ALWAYS Worth It

Why Women Need Specialist Care

• Getting a second opinion used to be standard for any type of surgery. Today, patients are reluctant to challenge a doctor’s recommendations as they often believe their doctor is up to date with all medical and surgical advancements. While idealistic, this isn’t always the case.

• In order to get the right treatment for a GYN condition, it is critical to get an accurate diagnosis as early as possible and to find the best GYN specialist. 

• Fibroids, endometriosis, pelvic pain, infertility and other GYN conditions deserve specialist care. Your doctor should encourage collaboration with specialists, and specialists will partner with your primary doctor.

Ask for a Second Opinion for GYN Surgery

• Women having already established trust with one medical professional may be hesitant to seek a second opinion. After disclosing some of the most intimate details of their body with one physician, the idea of going through that all over again with someone else may not be appealing. On the other hand, having suffered from failed procedures or getting the wrong treatment can also erode trust in all medical professionals. Women often give up hope that there is a solution at all.

• As skilled as many physicians are in their fields, there is actually more need now than ever before for patients to request a second opinion from trained minimally invasive GYN specialists. Robotic tools have saturated the medical industry at a rapid pace and many general practitioners now perform surgeries for which they do not have advanced training. Tools are not a replacement for training or skill. Robotic GYN procedures can result in injuries that may require other specialists to repair the damage. This means additional cost, more pain and longer recovery for the patient.
