What is a second opinion?

A second opinion means asking for the view of another doctor about your medical diagnosis, proposed treatment plan or ongoing treatment.

The second opinion expert from Royal Doctors reviews your medical file and sets out his or her advice in a second opinion report.

You receive the second opinion report 10 days later and discuss it with your own doctor. Together you can then make the right choices.

Here are the 3 reasons for requesting a second opinion:

You want extra certainty

Is your treatment really necessary?

Your current treatment isn’t working
