Second Opinions

Expert orthopedic second opinions

We understand that making decisions about surgery or treatment for an orthopedic condition can be overwhelming. When facing a diagnosis or recommendation for a procedure such as joint replacement, spine surgery, or a sports-related repair, it’s natural to have questions and want reassurance that you’re making the best choice for your health and future. That’s why we proudly offer orthopedic second opinions to patients seeking expert guidance and peace of mind.

Why get a second opinion?

Orthopedic conditions can often be managed with a range of treatment options, and the path forward may not always be clear. A second opinion can offer clarity, provide alternative solutions, and help ensure you are fully informed about your diagnosis and treatment choices. Whether you’re considering surgery, evaluating the effectiveness of a current treatment plan, or simply want confirmation of a previous recommendation, a second opinion can be an invaluable part of your care journey.

Our fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeons bring expertise across the full spectrum of musculoskeletal care, including spine, shoulder, elbow, knee, hip, foot, and ankle disorders. Our team will thoroughly review your medical history, imaging studies, and any previous recommendations to provide a personalized, evidence-based perspective tailored to your condition and goals.

What to expect during your second opinion visit

When you come for a second opinion, you can expect a thoughtful and collaborative evaluation. We take the time to listen to your concerns, answer your questions, and explain your diagnosis in plain language. Our goal is to empower you with information and provide clear, honest recommendations—whether that means confirming a treatment plan, offering a non-surgical alternative, or suggesting a different surgical approach based on our specialized expertise.

When should you consider a second opinion?

A second opinion may be helpful if:

• You’ve been told you need surgery and want confirmation or alternative options.
• Your symptoms are not improving despite ongoing treatment.
• You’ve received different diagnoses from different providers.
• You want care from specialists with focused expertise in the affected joint or region.

Expert care, compassionate approach

Led by triplet sisters Drs. Lauren, Stephanie, and Allison Boden combines specialized training with a strong commitment to patient-centered care. Each of our surgeons has completed advanced fellowship training in their respective subspecialties, and we work closely as a team to ensure every patient receives the most thoughtful and comprehensive care available.

We treat each patient like family, and that philosophy extends to second opinion consultations. Whether you ultimately choose to continue your care with us or return to your original provider with more confidence, our goal is to support your decision-making process with expertise, integrity, and compassion.
