second opinion

Second Opinions

At Tauranga Urology, we understand the importance of confidence and clarity in medical diagnosis and treatment plans, hence why we strongly advocate for and support the pursuit of second opinions.

While medical advice is typically accurate, there may be instances where multiple management options are available or a specific procedure has been recommended.

In such cases, patients may benefit from having their case reviewed and discussed with a second consultant, providing additional reassurance if needed.

Gain a comprehensive understanding of your diagnosis by scheduling your second opinion consultation with our medical experts today.

Referrals

To provide the most efficient and effective care, we strongly encourage patients to secure a referral from a GP before booking an appointment with us. These referrals are invaluable as they allow us to not only prioritise our services effectively but also to comprehensively prepare for your first consultation. By having all pertinent information ahead of time, we can tailor our approach to meet your specific needs right from the start.

Upon receipt of the referral, we will promptly inform you of an appointment time either by email or phone.

Upon confirmation of your appointment, we encourage you to prepare any questions or concerns you may have, so that we can address them thoroughly during your visit.
