  2. Second Opinion for Surgery

You deserve to feel confident about your care plan before heading into surgery – no matter how minor the procedure. Our surgeons perform more surgeries than other centers in the region. They treat every patient with the highest level of care and attention.

Second opinions: How our surgeons can help

At Lehigh Valley Institute for Surgical Excellence, our surgeons regularly meet with people and referring physicians seeking a second opinion to:

  • Confirm a diagnosis
  • Explore all treatment options, including novel treatments or procedures that may not be widely available
  • Discuss whether a treatment or care plan is the best fit for your circumstances 
  • Ensure you’re confident in your care team’s approach and expertise
