Frequently asked
Is the second opinion really free?
Yes. A specialist reviews your case at zero cost. The economics: if you later decide to travel, you pay the hospital directly for treatment — no markup from us. If you don't travel, we've spent an hour on your case. That's the whole deal.
How fast do I get the opinion?
48 working hours from upload, usually. Complex cases (rare cancers, combined procedures, paediatric referrals) can stretch to 72-96 hours — we tell you upfront if yours is in that bucket.
Which reports should I share?
Most recent imaging (MRI, CT, X-ray — DICOM files preferred over screenshots), all lab results from the last 6 months, biopsy pathology if any, current medications list, and a one-paragraph history. PDFs, JPGs, or WhatsApp all work. If you don't have something, tell us — we'll say whether the opinion can still be useful.
Who actually writes the opinion?
A board-certified specialist in the relevant field, currently practising at one of our partner hospitals. Their name, hospital, and credentials are on the report — not a ghost-written template.
Is my data safe?
Files are encrypted in transit and at rest. Only the assigned doctor and your case manager can read them. Everything is purged 30 days after we deliver the opinion. GDPR-aligned, and we'll sign an NDA on request.
Which specialties do you cover?
Cardiac, oncology, orthopedics, neurology/neurosurgery, organ transplant, fertility, bariatric, paediatric tertiary. If your case doesn't fit our panel — rare dermatology, say — we'll tell you within an hour rather than take up your time.
What if the second opinion disagrees with my current doctor?
It happens in about 28% of the cases we see — usually when surgery was recommended and our panel suggests a less-invasive option. We send both views to you in writing so you can take them back to your original doctor. We don't put pressure either way.

How a second opinion actually works
- 01 Upload your records Imaging on disc (DICOM), pathology reports, recent labs, treatment summary, and the recommendation you're seeking a second opinion on. Most patients use our secure portal; some send DVDs by post.
- 02 Case-manager review Within 24 hours, a senior coordinator confirms the records are complete and identifies the right specialty for review. Missing pieces are requested before routing.
- 03 Specialist routing We route to a specialist with high volume in your specific case type. For tumor cases, the routing is to a tumor-board reviewer. For surgical cases, to a senior surgeon in that sub-specialty.
- 04 Multidisciplinary review (where indicated) Complex oncology, transplant, and complex cardiac cases get multidisciplinary review. Your case is discussed in a structured forum with multiple specialists.
- 05 Written opinion delivered 5-10 days from records receipt. The opinion is in writing — agreement with original recommendation or specific alternative with rationale. Includes references to evidence base where relevant.
- 06 Discussion + next steps Video call with the reviewing specialist if you want to discuss. No obligation to proceed with us; the written opinion is yours to take to your home physician.
Free for the patient. Hospitals pay our coordination fee only if you proceed with treatment through us — second opinion costs nothing whether you do or don't.
When a second opinion changes the plan
Pathology re-review changes diagnosis or grade in 5-10% of cases. Imaging re-read by sub-specialty radiologist sometimes shifts stage.
For borderline cases (early prostate cancer, stable angina, asymptomatic findings), opinions can differ. Active surveillance vs immediate surgery is a common shift.
Repair vs replacement (mitral valve), partial vs total (joint), open vs minimally invasive — different surgeons recommend differently. Second opinion helps clarify.
Curative vs palliative, single-modality vs multi-modal. Different specialists frame the goal differently. Worth understanding the framing.
Some recommendations push toward immediate intervention; alternatives may suggest watchful waiting first. The right answer depends on specific case factors.
