Second opinion
Seeking a second opinion: a useful and complementary approach
Thank you for your trust and interest in our service.
A second opinion can be very useful: it is a complementary opinion that can help inform a decision or refine a treatment plan. For this process to be effective, it is important that you provide us with the essential elements of your patient's file (reports, imaging, treatments already performed, etc.) so that we can respond to you as best as possible.
