When someone is diagnosed with a serious disease, a thousand questions come
to mind: Is the diagnosis correct? What are the best available treatments? What is the prognosis? Who
is the best doctor that can treat this disease?
It is sometimes difficult to get well informed answers to these important questions and we would
like the opinion of the best and most renowned physicians specialized in the study and treatment of
that disease.
Studies in Europe and the United States show that a significant number of patients receive an
incorrect initial diagnosis leading to an inappropriate treatment, including unnecessary surgeries.
Because of this, it is generally recommended that patients get a second medical opinion from an
expert when they are diagnosed with a serious illness or when the treatment proposed pose significant
risks or costs.
Our goal at Consult a Specialist is to provide patients with the opinion of the best and most
renowned specialists in the United States to patients with serious diseases or to patients with an
uncertain diagnosis, without having to leave home.
