Second Opinion Consults in Wichita

Clarity and Confidence in Your Mental Health Care

When you’ve already received a diagnosis or treatment plan, it’s normal to wonder if it’s the best fit for you. A second opinion consult can provide peace of mind, confirm your current path, or suggest alternatives you may not have considered.

At KU Wichita Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences clinics, our specialists provide thoughtful, evidence-based second opinions tailored to your unique circumstances.

What is a second opinion consult?

A second opinion consult is a comprehensive review of your mental health history, previous evaluations and current treatment plan. It may include:

  • Reviewing medical and psychological records
  • Clarifying your diagnosis
  • Discussing treatment progress and challenges
  • Offering additional or alternative treatment recommendations
  • Helping you feel confident about your next steps
