I WAS TOLD THAT I NEED SURGERY… BUT IS SURGERY MY ONLY OPTION TO LIVE A PAIN FREE LIFE?
Patients often come to the Institute for a second opinion regarding a recommendation for surgery or regarding a treatment plan presented by other physicians. Second opinions offer insight into other treatment options that may or may not have been recommended by your first doctor. Seeking a second opinion provides benefit from an expert team of specialists who are leaders in their field. The new information may confirm a physician’s treatment plan, re-evaluate a diagnosis, examine other options and provide information to make an informed decision.
The physicians at Palm Beach Spine & Diagnostic Institute specialize in diagnosing difficult medical, orthopaedic and pain problems. Taking the time to complete a comprehensive evaluation and examination along with review of diagnostic tests allows our team to get to the root of your issue and not treat symptoms but rather the cause of your pain.
