Getting a Second Opinion
Empowering Women in Their Healthcare Choices
Did you know that about 50% of women do not receive a second opinion before
undergoing a gynecologic procedure? At
Rassetti Gynecology, we encourage patients to seek a second opinion before agreeing to any
procedure or treatment plan. Our team makes it a priority to answer your questions
about your condition and recommended procedures so you can feel confident
about your future and your
healthcare choices. Most physicians are not equipped with the extra training necessary to
provide a fully informed opinion, particularly in regard to
minimally invasive surgical techniques. Dr. Edwin Ramirez, MD can answer your questions and help you make the
right choice for you.
Contact the professionals at Rassetti Gynecology today to schedule an appointment
for an exam or a second opinion.
Many doctors do not take the time necessary to fully inform their patients
and discuss their situations. We believe that education is key in empowering
our patients to partner with us in reaching their healthcare goals. You
have the right to speak with a doctor who listens to your concerns, who
answers your questions, who explains alternatives to surgery, and who
fully informs you of all potential risks and benefits.
Do I need a second opinion?
If your doctor has recommended surgery to you as a remedy for a gynecologic
condition you are suffering from, we strongly encourage you to seek out
a second opinion. You can schedule an appointment with our
Oxnard gynecology practice today to further discuss your condition and alternative
treatments.
Learn About Minimally Invasive Surgery
Every year in the United States, approximately 600,000 women undergo hysterectomies
- but as many as 80% of these procedures are performed using old surgical
methods involving an open abdominal incision and extensive hospitalization
and recovery. This is not necessary due to the minimally invasive surgical
techniques that are available today, including laparoscopic, robotic,
and vaginal surgery.
The benefits of these less invasive procedures include:
- Less scarring
- Shorter hospital stays
- Minimal blood loss
- Less post-operative pain
- Shorter recovery times
- Faster return to your normal life
