Spinecare Introduction
Getting a Second Opinion

Is your doctor competent?  Do not be afraid to ask questions.  Assess whether your attending physician(s) are aware of your other medical conditions and their relationship to your spine problem, treatment or recommended care.  If your doctor demonstrates signs of incompetence find another doctor.  If you suspect your doctor is not being totally truthful with you get another opinion either to reaffirm your faith in him/her or to confirm your original concerns. There are online databases that can be accessed in most states for complaints on a physician or records of medical board actions against a doctor.
