Sometimes you simply want another physician to review the whole picture — a diagnosis may have shifted over time, several diagnoses may have accumulated, medications may no longer seem to help, or you're facing an important treatment decision. A one-time consultation with Dr. Rao steps outside your ongoing treatment to reconsider the history from the beginning, including prior records, diagnoses, medication trials and responses, medical history, and testing. The consultation may confirm your current approach, suggest something worth reconsidering, or raise additional questions to explore — and you can take those recommendations back to your existing psychiatrist or treatment team. Seeking a second opinion doesn't mean changing doctors; it can simply provide greater clarity and confidence about what comes next.
