The first choice for a second opinion

Dr. Michalis Klimatsidas has been active for more than a decade in advanced minimally invasive thoracic surgery and the treatment of thoracic diseases. By getting a second opinion, you ensure quality care and results.

If you have been told that there is no treatment option for your condition, or if an invasive procedure such as open surgery has been suggested, getting a second opinion can not only give you peace of mind but may lead to a less invasive treatment option.

Know all your options

→ Contrary to popular belief, many doctors welcome the opinions of other doctors. In fact, most doctors encourage second and even third opinions, especially when it involves a major procedure like chest surgeries.

→ Many times, a second expert opinion can reinforce your current treatment strategy, providing comfort moving forward. A second opinion can also lead to less invasive treatment options or ones that can be performed on an outpatient basis, potentially reducing pain, recovery time and cost.

Many people seek a second opinion based on:

• A specific expertise that may be necessary
• A higher level of experience from the doctor and the treatment team
• An establishment with a positive regional or national reputation
• Access to new technology or innovative treatment options
• Comprehensive, personalized recommendations

♦ Dr. Michalis Klimatsidas' unique focus on chest diseases and his expertise in minimally invasive thoracic surgery ensures the expertise to confirm a diagnosis or treatment plan and highlight options that may not have been considered.

♦ The care model followed is holistically about the patient. In addition to treating the disease at hand, supportive care services are designed to help you manage side effects and improve and maintain your quality of life so you can feel better while you get better.

From our side, we aim to create a relationship of mutual understanding and honest communication with the patient. Before any decision, we always make sure to thoroughly discuss with patients the treatment options, the specific risks and the procedures that will be followed.
