Clarity before you decide

If you have been advised to undergo orthopaedic surgery, you can request an independent specialist assessment to discuss your diagnosis, treatment options and alternatives — including non-surgical options where appropriate.

A second opinion brings an additional perspective and is particularly relevant for international and private patients who want confidence in their treatment pathway before making a decision.

What to bring

  • • Any imaging (X-ray, MRI, ultrasound) and reports
  • • Details of any proposed treatment or surgery
  • • Your medical history and current medication
  • • Your questions and concerns
