Can we visit for a ‘second opinion’?
We do understand that IBD is a complicated disease and treatment options are not straightforward and one approach does not fit everyone. Sometimes it is overwhelming for families to make a decision regarding treatment options offered. Or it can be a question regarding the diagnosis or a lab test. We welcome you for another opinion so you can make an informed decision about your or your child’s care.
