Why seek a second opinion at the New York Cardiac Diagnostic Center?
Perhaps you’re not feeling confident about your doctor’s decisions. Maybe you’re feeling rushed. Other reasons to get a second opinion include:
- Your insurance company may require it before covering your treatment.
- You may have options — including not needing the medicine or procedure, or one being less expensive than another.
- You’re concerned about the risk or how it might affect your lifestyle, family, or work.
We are honored to collaborate with the patient and the referring primary care physician to discuss cardiac treatment options related to preventive measures and acute cardiac conditions needing attention. In addition, our experts are able to provide assistance to patients seeking a second opinion. Patients seeking a second opinion from Dr. Reisman, a cardiology specialist, will be evaluated using the following criteria:
- Thorough physical examination and review of patient’s medical history to determine risk factors
- Advanced diagnostic tools, such as MRI, CT, echocardiograms and home monitoring, to better determine the patient’s condition
- Medical management techniques and lifestyle modifications to improve quality of life
- Preventive measures and assessments for asymptomatic patients who may be at higher risk for developing cardiac disease
- A consultation with the cardiac specialist
What do I bring to the New York Cardiac Diagnostic Center to seek a second opinion?
Before you visit the New York Cardiac Diagnostic Center, have your records forwarded to us. Better yet, get a full set and bring them with you.
- Also, be sure to come with specific questions. The more specific your questions, the more focused your meeting, the better the second opinion will be.
- You should also bring a pad and pen to write down important things, and consider having a significant other to sit and listen (and not talk).
- When you’re done, ask the doctor and his team to send them to you and your doctor.
