Why Are People Calling Best Doctors?
Being diagnosed with a health condition is almost always unsettling and can leave you with more questions than answers. Quite often a physician will diagnose you and then present you with several options for treating your condition, leaving you unsure which course to take. And sometimes you may even feel just a little skeptical about your doctor’s assessment and recommendation for treatment.
People like you are calling Best Doctors® every day for these reasons and more. Healthcare decisions are often difficult to make on your own and can leave you anxious and confused, but Best Doctors is there to answer your questions from diagnosis to recovery. Founded by two Harvard Medical School physicians in 1989, Best Doctors maintains a database of 50,000 physicians, considered the best in their fields. Your case will be thoroughly reviewed by Best Doctors to ensure your diagnosis is accurate and that your recommended treatment is medically appropriate and the best one possible.
Here are a few reasons why some Northrop Grumman employees called Best Doctors:
- "My left arm has been numb for over a year. You could stick a pin in it and I would not even feel it. I have been told that I do not have MS, but I would like confirmation of that."
- The expert diagnosed definite MS and recommended appropriate treatment for the member's condition.
- "I was diagnosed a couple of weeks ago with uterine fibroids. I would like to know if my diagnosis and treatment are correct, and if surgery is the only option."
- The expert confirmed the diagnosis but recommended monitoring the condition for 9-12 months rather than immediate surgery.
- "I have had recurrent sinus infections for the past two years and have not responded to treatment. My symptoms have significantly interfered with my quality of life."
- The expert did not agree with the treating physician's recommendation of sinus surgery; instead he recommended treatment with medication.
