Can We Have A Second Opinion For My Sister Who Has Been Recommended Back Surgery?
My sister was told today that she needs back surgery so she wanted to check on the doctor doing it to make sure he s been in practice for a long time (she said he looks too young to be doing this long) and also he has a partner who operates with him apparently but she doesn t know his name and wants me to check him out for her too (she has no computer knowledge). Thank You. He s Richard A Klein, East Brunswick, NJ and is an orthopedic surgeon.
Dear patient First of all you should mention the indication for which surgery is advised and what is the diagnosis? What reports are done on her ( mri is must). Most important is what are her complaints? So if you have provided all this details I can say what's the best treatment for her. For second opinion you can consult doctor of your choice and you are free to do it. All the best.
