Most doctors are glad to get the opinions of their peers when assessing complicated medical issues. Their primary goal is to get you feeling better. A good way to frame a conversation with your treating physician regarding an Included Health expert opinion is:

• “I requested a consultation about [condition] and here’s what I learned…”
• “Here’s what I was surprised to find out…”
• “Dr. Smith recommended these options for my care because of these reasons…”
