Seeking a second medical opinion can be an important step in reviewing and validating your current medical treatment and/or diagnosis. While a face-to-face consultation with one of our physicians is best, our Second Opinion program can offer you peace of mind as one of our physicians reviews your clinical information and offer a suggestion of treatments or alternatives to your health needs without you having to incur travel expenses.
Our International staff can assist with:
- Submitting your clinical information, films or slides to one of our physicians for review (in some cases there may be a minimal fee depending on the area of service)
- Provide you a written response from our physicians on their recommendation (within 2-3 business days depending on the line of service)
- Provide hospital/physicians estimated cost on proposed plan of treatment
- Schedule appointment with your physician(s) and provide an itinerary
- Arrange airport assistance, transportation, and hotel accommodations
- Arrange an interpreter (if needed)
Our International staff and physicians are ready to assist you in obtaining a valuable second opinion for your health. Please provide us with your basic personal information by completing the following form and faxing it to us at 832-355-3002. You will receive a phone call confirming receipt of the form within 24 hours. This information will only be used to set-up your appointment and arrange a medical record at St. Luke’s.
