New York
When to ask for a specialist second opinion on pelvic pain, seen through the experience of patients in New York, where sitting, commuting and desk work dominate the day.
Ask for a second opinion when your pain has lasted more than six months, when investigations have been normal, when treatment has been symptomatic only, or when nobody has yet named a mechanism for your pain.
A useful second opinion is not just another appointment. It is a structured review of every previous investigation, imaging study and treatment response by someone who sees this pattern constantly.
Patients from the United States regularly send their records to Pelvic Institute for review before travelling. Most of the work — history, records, imaging, planning — happens before anyone books a flight.
Video consultations are scheduled for Eastern Time so New York patients do not need to take a day off to be assessed.
