Like emteycz I check the science. I will also ask others who might have the same issue. And depending on severity get a 3rd, 4th, or even 5th opinion. Like emteycz said: Its your health. Of course this depends on how serious the issue is. Often its an issue where both can have valid solutions. Or there could be something one missed that the other caught.

So, in order to do your job of maintaining your health, you need need to do all of these jobs:

1. Learn about the symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of your health problem 2. Assess the severity of the health problem 3. Learn about the experience of other people 4. Get multiple opinions

Bonus: 5. Learn about multiple valid solutions 6. Find doctor's blind spots

While doing all that, you pay for healthcare, which includes all that. You pay a doctor to know no1, do the no2, remember no3. You then pay for multiple of them to do the same.

But then you still get to the point where you have to decide who to believe. And it would be easy if 4 of them say the same thing. You can be pretty sure they are right[1] because statistics. But what happens when they give multiple differing opinions, like here [2].
