A second opinion is the opinion of a pediatric specialist other than your child’s current physician. In a neurosurgery second opinion, a pediatric neurosurgeon at Children’s Hospital of Michigan will review your child’s medical records
and give their opinion about your child’s diagnosis and how it should be treated.
Why Should You Consider a Neurosurgery Second Opinion?
A new or complex medical condition of a child may require an invasive surgery or a major treatment intervention. Children’s Hospital of Michigan offers a variety of surgical techniques tailored to each child. Getting a neurosurgery second opinion
can help you understand your options for your child and offer you peace of mind.
