REASONS FOR A SECOND OPINION

Second opinions decrease the chance that a mistake will be made with your health

Every day many people have radiology exams performed and after seeing their doctor they do not fully understand the results and the impact these results may have on their lives. You shouldn’t leave your doctors office thinking, “Well if it’s serious I am sure they will call me”. However, we are all living busy lives and doctors are no different.

They want to spend more time with you explaining what your diagnosis and results mean. Unfortunately, they can’t always do this because they have a waiting room filled with patients fighting for time with their doctor. A study in 2018 showed that 27% of doctors spend 12 minutes or less with their patients.

TESTIMONIALS

We love our patients & our partners

These are some of the outstanding institutions which our doctors were trained.
Don’t take our word for it, see what our customers say.

“I have been suffering from low back pain for a long time. I was having such pain that I was at the brink of losing my ability to walk. I had an MRI which offered little clarity. I heard about The Medical Consultant and received a second opinion consult for my MRI which not only gave much more detail than the first report but also clearly identified where the nerve impingement was. The Medical Consult has given me hope.“

Does insurance ever cover second opinions?

Will you tell me if the quality of my examination was not good enough?

There are great variabilities in the different imaging equipment that imaging providers use. The quality can also be heavily affected by your body weight, body morphology, motion by you during the exam, as well as artifacts that can
occur. However, even exams that are not perfect still usually offer some diagnostic information. As part of your second opinion the specialist will let you know if your exam is non diagnostic or of limited value in diagnosing your illness.
