In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Amols tackles a question most patients are too embarrassed to ask out loud: Does getting a second opinion mean you’re cheating on your fertility doctor?
Inspired by a real patient interaction, he breaks down why fertility care feels so personal, why patients often feel guilty seeking outside input, and why no confident doctor should ever take it personally. You’ll hear how second opinions can validate your plan, reveal new options, and ultimately strengthen your confidence — not sabotage your treatment.
You’ll learn:
• Why fertility patients feel “loyalty pressure”
• Why two good doctors can disagree and both be right
• When a second opinion is helpful (and when it’s panic shopping)
• What records to bring and what questions to ask
• The red flags that mean you’re in the wrong clinic
• How to advocate for yourself without the guilt
This episode is your permission slip to put your peace of mind first. Your journey deserves clarity — not loyalty tests.
