    FAQ's

    What is a Cardiology Second Opinion?

    When faced with complex cardiac treatments and options, you may seek a second opinion from another doctor, surgeon, or specialist. For better decision-making, a second medical opinion can help confirm a diagnosis or discuss alternative treatment options. Seeking a Cardiac second opinion can assuage concerns when facing serious or life-threatening Heart conditions.  A second medical opinion should also be sought as soon as possible after the primary consultation in order to begin appropriate medical treatment as soon as possible.

    When should one get a Cardiac Second Opinion?

    You should seek a Cardiac second opinion in the following situations:

    • Your primary doctor is planning an experimental treatment option for you because you have a fatal/life-threatening condition.
    • Diagnosis is unclear, or if you have too many ailments.
    • Your primary doctor is not a Heart specialist.
    • Current treatment is ineffective.
    • Various Cradiac treatment options.
    • Introductory consultation diagnosed the condition as untreatable.
    • You need confirmation.
    How to get a Cardiac Second Opinion?

    Start by discussing with your physician about getting a second opinion from a cardiologist, if not already referred. However,  If you’ve already seen a cardiologist, look for someone with similar training and experience.  Alternatively, you can also ask your insurance company, a local doctor, a clinic, or a hospital to recommend a Heart specialist for a second opinion. You can also look for cardiologist/surgeons online to talk about your diagnosis and treatment options.

    Do I need my primary doctor’s permission to obtain a Second Opinion?

    In most cases, your primary care physician should be fine with you seeking a second medical opinion. You don’t require permission, but rather advice. However, inform your primary care physician that you are seeking a second opinion before beginning treatment or undergoing surgery. Generally, your primary care physician or doctor will advise you to seek expert advice from a cardiologist.

    Who are the doctors providing medical Second Opinions?

    Second medical opinions are provided by doctors who specialise in specific organs or conditions. For example, if Cardiac Tumor is detected, it is recommended by general physicians or another body part specialist to consult an cardiologist. They can assist you in better understanding of a medical condition’s diagnosis, treatment options, and outcomes so that you can make an informed decision. They may also have experience with patients who have similar illnesses or have access to advanced surgical techniques.

    Is Second Opinion free?

    A second opinion is similar to a primary opinion, which you would get if you went to a new doctor. It isn’t free, and most clinics and hospitals have policies about it. However, you may be eligible for a discount in a few hospitals/clinics if you have a referral.

    A few hospitals (such as Yashoda Hospitals) provide free online second opinions to assist you in making treatment or surgical decisions.
