Get a second opinion before surgery
Advised knee replacement, hip replacement or spine surgery? Dr. Deepak Bhaskar reviews your reports and explains every option, including the ones that do not need an operation, so you can decide with confidence.
Why should you get a second opinion?
Yes, it is reasonable to get a second opinion before any planned operation. Several of Dr. Bhaskar's patients were advised spine surgery elsewhere and were treated with medicines and injections instead, while others went ahead with surgery after understanding why it was needed.
Always bring the exact details of your diagnosis and planned treatment:
- Recent X-rays, MRI or CT scans and their reports
- The previous doctor's advice or surgery plan
- If you had surgery earlier, the operation notes and discharge summary
- A list of your current medicines and doses
- Mediclaim or insurance details
