Medical second opinion consultation

Submit your radiology exam and the report you have received previously to The Medical Consultant for review by a Radiologist second opinion doctor specialist. You will receive a second opinion report from a Radiologist doctor specialist as well as any further recommendation that you can share with your Clinical doctor. We will compare with your initial report to give you additional confidence confirming the findings on your first report most often. However, there will certainly be times that we may spot incidental findings that were not previously discussed or even identify a different diagnosis altogether. We focus on getting you the most reliable and detailed discussion of your findings giving you peace of mind that your exam was reviewed by a specialist in the area you need. In addition, you can always rest assured that if you do find yourself having questions after receiving your second opinion consultation report you can always upgrade to the Doctor Video Consultation with the specialist that provided you with your second opinion.

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.“

Is my health information private and secure?

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.
