Title: Dr's Gross, Bose, and/or De Smet 2nd opinion?
Post by: jsblock11 on June 20, 2018, 10:31:23 AM
Reading through the archives, it appears possible to get a 2nd opinion from Dr. Gross, Bose or De Smet by emailing xrays?

My BHR was done in 12/2017 and I've had a rare issue where some impingement has broken off a bone fragment from my femoral neck. My surgeon hasn't given me much info about what it really means or if there are any issues from it going forward.

I'd love to have one of the top Dr's take a look at my Xrays and help me decide if this is something to take any action on (via limiting activities and certain movements, etc.) or if there are any other potential impingements from bone spurs I need to be concerned with.

Anyone gotten a 2nd opinion in a case like this? I don't want to waste any of these Dr's valuable time, and would pay any applicable appointment fees, I'd just really like another set of eyes to "grade" my BHR and what issues I might see from this.

I have received advice from Drs. Pritchett, Gross and De Smet. They will tell you what images they need.
