Yes. You can always choose to get a second opinion. You can ask your Family Health Network doctor to recommend another doctor for a second opinion or you can make your own choice. The advantage of being in a Family Health Network is that your personal family doctor will often be able to refer you to another doctor or health practitioner in the network. Of course, your family doctor will also continue to refer you to specialists when you need them.
