How It Works

MedCare Clinics’ second opinion process is designed for you to receive vital expert opinions without delay. The process includes the transfer of your information to our clinic, then we transmit the expert medical second opinion back to the patient and the patient’s treating physician.

Start Your Case

Start your case from wherever you are in the world. Get started by submitting your information on our website. Provide the patient’s demographics, describe the medical situation, and upload the patient’s medical records.

Review Case Details

A MedCare Clinics healthcare provider will conduct an in-depth review of your diagnosis and medical files. The goal of your care team is to quickly confirm the patient’s diagnosis and devise a proposed treatment plan or recommend an alternative treatment plan.

Render An Expert Medical Opinion

Our healthcare provider will prepare a second opinion report, which will be sent to the patient, primary caregiver or guardian.

When is a Second Opinion Helpful?

When a tough health care decision is met with you or a loved one, you may have a hard time knowing what to do. It is common to feel confused. Making decisions can be difficult as you navigate the healthcare system, especially when you need to choose between several treatment options.

For everyday health care, you probably do not need a second opinion; however, a second opinion may be a good idea if:

You are uncomfortable with your initial healthcare team.
You are confused about your diagnosis and treatment options.
You need more information about your options.
You are deciding about a risky test or medical procedure.
You are unclear about how well a test or medical procedure might work.
You are faced with a life-changing or life-threatening medical condition.
You need a local expert who specializes in your condition.
You want a medical doctor’s expert advice and guidance.
