Second Opinion POLL
Despite the advent of health websites and other widely available sources providing medical research and information, 70% of Americans feel confident in the accuracy of their doctor’s advice, and don’t feel the need to check for a second opinion or do additional research. Americans’ confidence in their doctor is up slightly from eight years ago.
Older Americans are the most likely to be confident in their doctor’s advice, with 85% of those 65 and older expressing confidence. This compares with 67% among those 50 to 64 and 65% among those under 50.
