Finding out you need major surgery or another significant procedure on your feet can feel scary. Understandably, you might want to talk to another specialist before committing to undergoing the recommended treatment.

It turns out, getting a second opinion isn’t only personally reassuring, but it’s also a smart medical choice. Research shows nearly 90% of patients get their diagnosis and treatment plan refined or changed after consulting a second doctor.

Dr. Skandeva and Dr. Cheema are board-certified podiatrists that give second opinions to patients who have questions or concerns after discovering they need major surgery or another podiatry procedure. Their training was comprehensive in both medicine and forefoot and rearfoot surgery, with additional training in reconstructive rearfoot surgery, diabetic limb salvage, as well as wound care.

When it comes to caring for your feet, getting a second opinion is always a positive action to ensure you get the care you need.
