What is an expert consult?

Navigating medical care can be complex. Dr. Ramin offers expert consults and second opinions to help you make more informed decisions about your health and treatment options.

In an expert consult appointment, Dr. Ramin works with you to confirm or challenge the diagnosis, treatment plan, or medical advice you received from your primary healthcare provider.

Seeking an expert consult doesn’t necessarily mean you don’t trust your current healthcare provider. Instead, it’s a valuable tool to ensure you get the best and most appropriate care for your unique needs.

When should I get an expert consult?

Consider getting an expert consult anytime you receive a significant diagnosis or treatment recommendation, especially if you have questions or feel uncomfortable with your current care provider.

Sometimes, your health insurance provider might request a second opinion. In other cases, an expert consult can offer peace of mind and more information to help you decide about your care.

If you’ve been diagnosed with a serious or complex medical condition, a second opinion can provide additional insight into your diagnosis and treatment options. If you’ve been recommended for surgery or you’ve undergone a procedure or treatment that wasn't successful, a second opinion can help identify potential alternatives or underlying issues.

An expert consult can also help if you’re concerned that your current treatment plan isn’t effectively managing your symptoms or if you’ve received conflicting information about your health from different healthcare providers.
