Common Questions

Questions about second opinions

What to send, what the review covers, and how long it takes.

When is a second opinion worth getting?

Whenever surgery has been recommended, when a diagnosis does not match how you feel, or when you simply want the reasoning behind a plan explained again before you commit.

What do I need to send in advance?

Recent imaging on disc or through your portal, the radiology reports, any operative notes, and a short summary of what has already been tried.

Will you tell me the first opinion was wrong?

Not usually. Most second opinions confirm the diagnosis and then discuss whether the recommended treatment is the right one, and whether the timing is right for you.

How long does it take?

A review is typically scheduled within one to two weeks once your imaging and records have arrived.
