Get a second opinion from the Herma Heart Institute
If your child was born with heart disease or a heart defect, consider getting a second opinion from the pediatric experts at the Herma Heart Institute at Children's Wisconsin. A second opinion from our doctors can confirm the original diagnosis, giving you added confidence and peace of mind. In some cases, we may be able to provide new information or a different perspective about the diagnosis. Even if treatment has already started, a second opinion can help guide any change in your child's care.
It is understandable if you feel overwhelmed following a heart defect diagnosis. To help parents choose the right care for their child, Conquering CHD developed the Guided Questions Tool. The Herma Heart Institute proactively provides answers to the questions to help families in their decision.
