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.

It’s possible that the second opinion doctor may give you the same advice as your own doctor (40%). In that case, you have confirmation that you are on the right track.
But what if the second opinion is different (60%)? Decide for yourself what feels like the best choice for you. Discuss the options resulting from the second opinion report with your own doctor.
Does your own doctor disagree with the second opinion? Or do you no longer trust your own doctor? Then you can choose to switch to another doctor.
