I am assuming others have struggled with this:
1. I like my surgeon and he has a good rep. But he does other heart work and does not only do valves. Also Moses Cone Hospital is not a leader in the field. Duke is nearby and has a better hospital reputation.
2. Is it prevailing thinking to get a 2nd opinion no matter what? Of course the opinion probably won't be any different and it will be more like shopping.
Moses Cone is right by my house...I know a pretty dumb reason ...but my treatment has been great and the thought of driving back in forth seems like extra stress.
TIA
