Will this offend my current surgeon?

Good surgeons expect and respect second opinions on major decisions. This process is professional and collegial — the goal is your confidence, not a contest.

Usually not. Recent imaging is typically sufficient and is reviewed directly. If a specific additional study would change the recommendation, you'll hear exactly why before it's ordered.

Imaging (or access to it), operative and clinic notes, and your questions. Our intake process — powered by our secure patient platform — collects most of it before you arrive.

Not sure you
need surgery?

Get another perspective before making a major decision.

Second opinions regularly change diagnoses and plans — and when they confirm the original plan, that certainty is worth just as much.

Request a second opinion

Two minutes now. Records later — securely.

Bring (eventually): imaging or portal access, clinic and operative notes, and the list of treatments you've tried. Our secure intake collects all of it after this request.

Good candidates: a surgery recommendation you want verified, a plan that isn't working, conflicting advice, or a diagnosis that doesn't match how you feel.
