This service is designed to support informed decision-making and patient understanding. It is most effective when used alongside an ongoing relationship with a primary healthcare provider who can coordinate and implement care. We encourage patients to share their second-opinion recommendations with their primary care provider or treating specialist to ensure continuity, coordination, and safe follow-up care. Patients should not delay or discontinue medical treatment while awaiting or following a second opinion.
If you are experiencing chest pain, shortness of breath, severe symptoms, or a life-threatening emergency, do not use this service. Please call 911 immediately or proceed to the nearest emergency department or Hospital.
