When to Seek a Second Opinion
A diagnosis shapes the support you receive, so it is reasonable to want confidence in it. People seek a second opinion when a prior evaluation felt rushed or incomplete, when the results did not seem to fit their experience, when a diagnosis is being questioned, or when they simply want another careful perspective before making decisions.
What a Records Review Involves
A records review is a focused look at your existing evaluations, reports, and relevant history. Dr. Bell reviews the documentation, considers the methods and conclusions, and gives you an independent perspective on what the records do and do not support.
