How do i tell my dr that i want a 2nd opinion? i dont want to offend him. and the other dr that i want a 2nd opinion is in the same hospital.

Second opinion.: I would just let the physician know that it would put your mind at ease to have confirmation of diagnosis /treatment plan from a second provider. Most physicians will help to arrange for this. Take care.

Not satisfied w/M.D.: There are no perfect tests, & few perfect doctors. Most practitioners want you to candidly share your concerns so as to best direct you appropriately.Perhaps: 1) doc was running late; 2) an emergency required his attention elsewhere; 3) your allotted appt time was exceeded; 4) you both didn't hit it off ideally. Please see a doctor who may better suit you--I assure he won't be offended by it.
