Pediatric Orthopedics at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital: Second Opinions 

We are among Florida's highest-ranked pediatric orthopedic programs and the top 50 nationwide, according to U.S. News & World Report. We’ve held this distinction for many years. It means we consistently deliver safe, effective surgical care with outstanding results. Meet our team.

What Is a Second Opinion?

Second opinions are available for any orthopedic concern. Families often turn to us when treatments do not progress as expected or a complex condition requires ongoing care.

A second opinion can help you:

• Learn more about your child’s diagnosis and potential recovery 
• Find out about treatment options, including therapies that are not widely available
• Confirm a recommended care plan is right for your child

After a comprehensive evaluation, we provide the information you need to make orthopedic care decisions for your child confidently. Second opinions help you choose the best course of care, even if it’s not with us. We want your child to receive the right treatments for their needs. Get more information about orthopedics.
