She said, “I like the comfort and security that doctors I trust are all on the same page,” said Harbin. “It gives me confidence. I can reach out to anyone on my care team if I have a question not requiring urgent attention, saving me from having to call the hospital and search for the right person.” ^[8]

Dr. Danielle Scheurer, professor of medicine at MUSC Health shared her views in a podcast with Erin Spain about how to choose or change doctors through MUSC Mychart⁹. She said,

Good physicians should never take offense to the request for a second opinion, because at the end of the day, we all get one body and it’s ours to take care of. And we have to feel really confident that we’re getting the best care possible.
