"To have peace of mind, to be reassured: that is important for your health, especially as you have to work on your health. To know that you stand no longer with your back against the wall after an alarming diagnosis, that you have the choice to obtain a second, independent, opinion: that is the service offered by Royal Doctors."
Joris Vanvinkenroye
President Royal Doctors
Medicine is not a straightforward science. Between ‘perfect’ and ‘totally hopeless’ there are as many diagnoses as there are shades of grey. The better the examination methods, the better the knowledge of the human body and more varied the diagnoses and interpretations.
If you, as a layperson, have been diagnosed with an anomaly, you are of course scared of what will happen. Can I get help? Can I be cured? Then you are confronted with your limited medical knowledge. Did I understand the doctor’s explanations correctly? Is it possible that the equipment failed? Do I put my problem and my body in the right hands? We think that patients are entitled to as much detailed information as possible in such situations. Presently, there are more than adequate medical alternatives to make patients no longer feel there is no way out. But they are not always exploited; Royal Doctors see to it that they are.
Do you want to know whether there are other treatments than that proposed by your physician? Do you have the feeling that the doctor, with whom you have a relationship based on trust, does not know the answers to all your questions? Then a second opinion can be of great help. Another physician’s independent opinion will help you to better understand the first diagnosis and proposed treatment. In case of a life-threatening disease it is of vital importance that you are sure to have chosen the correct medical method. Belief in a treatment is an important aspect of your recovery.
It is perhaps not obvious to find a physician yourself who can quickly deliver that second opinion. For a start, it is difficult for a layperson to know which doctor to turn to, neither is it simple to get an appointment with a specialist in the short run. At a time of great concern for your health, these steps can become real obstacles. As medical service provider, Royal Doctors can take care of these tasks for you. Thanks to our experience and worldwide network we can assist you quickly and accurately.
Your health is our business.
