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 in particular.

Studies in Europe and the United States show that up to 30% of patients with certain types of diseases get an incorrect initial diagnosis leading to an inappropriate treatment. These studies consider that up to 20% of surgeries are unnecessary, thus resulting in significant risks to patients and high costs. Because of this, European and American health organizations recommend patients to get a second medical opinion when they have a serious illness or when the treatment proposed by their doctors pose significant risks.
