Second Opinion

Need a Second Opinion?
We understand how confusing and frightening it can be to get a diagnosis that requires surgery. Getting a second opinion is always a good idea.there are many advanced imaging techniques and minimally invasive procedures available today, and any patient would be wise to get a second opinion from our highly qualified and internationally trained experts.
The Second Opinion Program at the Vein Clinic can provide you with the peace of mind that comes with knowing your options and having experts to guide you in making your decision. The program offers both in-person appointments as well as a remote service called Review and Report — which is a thorough review of your previous images and diagnosis and an evaluation of the recommended treatment, followed by our written report. Our faculty can provide expert second opinions on a wide range of surgical conditions, including:

We can do a review of your diagnosis and treatment plan and provide the written report within a few days of receiving your images. Our Review and Report process will:
Confirm Your Diagnosis, or Suggest Additional Tests. Many medical and surgical conditions look alike on initial imaging, and an accurate diagnosis is absolutely critical to creating the best treatment plan. If we have any reason to believe your diagnosis needs confirmation, we may recommend additional advanced imaging or other tests to verify your condition.

Provide Information About Treatment Options. Not every doctor or hospital has access to the most advanced technology or has the specialized training to perform minimally invasive procedure. We may be able to suggest a minimal invasive alternative to open surgery that your doctor is not able to provide.
Assess Your Risk. Different treatment options carry different risks, often depending on  the age and general health of the patient, the patient’s medical history, and the family history. Our second opinion report will assess your risk based on your own individual situation.
