Second Opinions

MRI and X-Ray review

Undergoing surgery, regardless of how minor, is a serious healthcare decision. Being confident in both your diagnosis and surgical team is important. Take advantage of a second opinion from renowned orthopedic surgeon Dr. Jorge Chahla. A second opinion can reinforce the proposed treatment plan or present you with alternative treatment options.

Chicago-based board-certified orthopedic surgeon Dr. Jorge Chahla is available to provide an orthopedic second opinion by reviewing your healthcare records, MRIs and/or X-rays. Dr. Chahla in conjunction with Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush (MOR) provide internationally renowned orthopedic care.

Even if you do not live in the Chicago, Naperville, Oak Brook, Illinois or Munster, Indiana communities, Dr. Chahla can still help. We’re fortunate to have patients travel to Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush from around the world. Furthermore, if you’re simply in need of an expert second opinion, Dr. Chahla is happy to help.

The benefits of second opinions

After reviewing your case history, MRIs and/or X-rays, Dr. Chahla can provide you with:

  • Additional knowledge about your diagnosis
  • Additional knowledge about treatment options
  • Additional knowledge about the recovery and rehabilitation process

With this additional information, patients are able to compare diagnosis and treatment results between two physicians and confirm the diagnosis and treatment plan are the best option for the patient.

Most physicians welcome a second opinion from a respected peer. A good physician understands a patient’s right to be well-informed in order to understand their healthcare choices. Some physicians even encourage their patients to contact a medical second opinion service because a different doctor may determine a different diagnosis and/or treatment plan.

Information is vital to all patients when it comes to their healthcare and obtaining a second opinion is a normal practice with knee, hip, shoulder, cartilage restoration, and sports related injuries. Be honest with your original physician and they should be understanding of your interest to seek additional knowledge about your diagnosis and treatment options.
