You never know when you are in need for a surgical consultation. Chronic or acute medical issues can sometimes be solved in a blink of an eye with a surgical intervention. 

On the other hand, deciding in which surgeon's hands to trust your life and your well-being is a tremendously heavy burden. A different prospective of your health issue can sometimes offer a great deal to your therapeutic strategy and ultimately to your final outcome. Second opinion is something that patients should seek, in order to have a clearer view of their options.
