Second opinion by orthopaedic surgeon

Dr Andreas L. Oberholzer deals with the many causes of problems with the musculoskeletal system and specifically with knee, foot and hip complaints.

If you have any doubts as to whether the knee, hip or foot treatment recommended by a doctor is really the right one, a second opinion can give you certainty.

The costs of a second opinion are covered by basic insurance for Swiss patients.

When is a second opinion recommended?

• In case of uncertainty, concerns or lack of confidence;
• If you would like an independent assessment by an additional specialist;
• If there is no clear diagnosis and/or treatment recommendation;
• If you have been recommended a major operation and want to make sure that there are no alternatives;
• If you need additional information and experience reports on a recommended treatment.

Assessment by an experienced specialist

PD Dr Andreas L. Oberholzer will assess your situation and the proposed treatment and ask about your needs and expectations. This is followed by a detailed examination of the pain.

The documents you bring with you as well as X-ray images or MRI scans are then studied or additional investigations are initiated if necessary and desired.

A detailed discussion with an assessment of the situation and the possible options - conservative or surgical, with the respective advantages and disadvantages - then provides the desired clarity and helps you to make the right decision for you.
