Second Opinion at ST. JOSEF Merano:
Medical Clarity and Security
In addition to prevention and health care, special emphasis is placed on providing the opportunity for a competent second opinion. At the patient's request, everyone has the option to obtain an assessment from another expert in order to base health decisions on a solid foundation. The importance of a second opinion in medical decision-making is becoming increasingly significant due to rapid medical advancements and cannot be emphasised enough.
Rely on our Experience
The second opinion service at ST. JOSEF Health Centre Merano - Bolzano offers patients the opportunity to base their healthcare decisions on solid foundations. The experienced team of experts, led by Prof. Dr. Alfred Königsrainer, provides empathetic support to discuss all aspects of health.
When patients are confronted with serious health issues, such as tumours or diseases of the internal organs, choosing the best treatment plan can be a tremendous challenge for both the patient and the treating doctors. Prof. Dr. Alfred Königsrainer and his team understand the fear and uncertainty that accompany such a diagnosis, and they offer not only empathetic support but also advice based on the most up-to-date medical knowledge, as well as assistance in selecting the facility where treatment can be carried out.
The relationship of trust between doctor and patient is at the core
Often, several conversations are required to discuss the different treatment options and encourage patients to approach their treatment with confidence and hope. The relationship of trust between doctor and patient is at the core, and the empathy of the doctor plays a crucial role. Obtaining a second opinion allows patients to make well-informed decisions and gain access to the best possible therapy.
There is often a range of approaches, some of which depend on individual factors. Prof. Dr. Alfred Königsrainer and his team ensure that patients understand all the advantages and disadvantages to assist them in making their decisions. While the internet offers a wealth of information, it can be difficult to distinguish reliable sources from less trustworthy ones. Therefore, the ST. JOSEF Health Centre Merano - Bolzano recommends personal consultations as an important pillar of the decision-making process, giving patients the opportunity to focus on their health and make informed decisions.
