Second Opinions
Seeking a second opinion can assist in making important medical decisions and in reviewing treatment options for a patient's particular diagnosis. The Methodist Hospital Medical Second Opinion service can be an economical, reliable alternative to face-to-face consultation, providing international physicians and their patients with access to the expertise of The Methodist Hospital-without incurring travel expenses.

Through our program, physicians or patients can submit medical records, radiology films, and/or pathology slides for review. Utilizing expert resources, state-of-the-art technology, and proven experience, your Methodist team will prepare a personalized, comprehensive report that may confirm a diagnosis, remark on the proposed treatment plan, and possibly provide additional recommendations for care.

Depending upon the complexity of the case, the cost of a second opinion ranges from $400-$900(USD) plus fees for professional services rendered, which may include radiology and pathology services. Medical referral specialists at Methodist are ready to guide you though our second opinion services.
