What to do if the opinions of specialists differ?

What to do if the opinions of specialists differ?
Sometimes it happens that the doctor cannot make an accurate diagnosis. Or the patient doubts the professionalism of the doctor. Or you can find hundreds of other reasons why a patient may go to several doctors to solve his problem. And it so happens that the opinions of experts on this issue do not coincide. What to do in this case?

I want to say right away that getting another opinion is very important and necessary. In this case, the patient will have a broader and more complete understanding of the problem he faced.
As for the difference of opinion. Three doctors can have four opinions and five treatment plans. And that’s normal. What to do with it? Look for the plan that suits the patient the most.

For example, one dentist said that a diseased tooth should be removed without options. The second – that you can try to save the tooth, and the third said that it will pass. What should the patient choose? What he likes more.
It is necessary to understand: the doctor offers a certain method of treatment not because it is the only possible option. And because he mastered this method better than others. So choosing how to solve a specific problem is the patient’s right.
