-- In most fields of health, it seems that second opinions are quite common. They offer the patient a way to become more knowledgeable about what ails them, or what procedures they need done, before diving into a (usually) expensive and involved procedure, or series of procedures. Smart consumers, in non-health related markets, ensure they do research on products and services to ensure they are getting not only a high quality product, but also going to the right place for what they need done. Pricing aside, getting educated on a product or service is becoming more and more common.
In some health fields, there is an increase in people looking at more than one healthcare provider, and with insurance networks, this is an even more commonplace action for those receiving health or dental care. There are many different reasons to seek a second opinion, and each are valid. These are just some of the instances prompting individuals to get a second opinion:
– The dentist has diagnosed a large problem, such as oral cancer.
– They have had dental work done, but it hass not resolved the problem.
– They are not quite sure if the treatment that was recommended is really necessary, or are concerned about being charged too much.
– They do not feel that their dentist is fully qualified to deliver the correct treatment they need for the problem they were having.
– They do not feel the doctor is communicating well with them regarding the issues.
Dr. Daniel seems to understand the concern more and more patients are having within the dental health field, and wanted to make it easier for those who desire a second opinion for dentistry. When asked about what prompted him to start offering free second opinion consultations, he had this to say:
“We do this to make ourselves more accessible to the community, regarding dental issues. A second opinion is sometimes needed to make an informed decision on a particular subject, and I don’t believe it should cost an arm and a leg to get all the necessary information for that.” -Dr. Daniel
Dr. Daniel has decided to offer free X-rays and an examination, as part of the free second opinion consultation, which means more money is available for the patient to use on the dental procedure/s they may need.
