What Is a Medical Second Opinion?
A medical second opinion is an independent assessment by another specialist of your medical information. At Hospitual, this can include a review of medical imaging, pathology reports and available digital slides. The specialist provides a written opinion that may support the original findings, identify differences or suggest questions to discuss with your treating doctor.
