Medical second opinions are typically given by specialists who focus on specific organs or conditions. For instance, if diagnosed with cancer, a general physician might recommend consulting an oncologist. These specialists help you understand your diagnosis, evaluate treatment options, and predict outcomes, ensuring you make well-informed decisions. They often have experience with similar cases or might offer access to advanced treatments.
