you take the next step.
What is a second opinion?
It is another assessment of your case information to clarify questions and discuss care options. It may confirm the advice you have already received.
Do I need a recommendation for surgery?
When you call, explain that you would like an assessment. Reception can advise on the appropriate appointment and availability.
Which records should I bring?
Have your medical reports, test results and proposed treatment plan available, if you have them. Confirm with reception which documents are needed for your appointment.
Can a family member come with me?
Ask reception about bringing someone when requesting your appointment. You can also prepare a list of questions with your family.
Will my treatment necessarily change?
No. A second opinion may confirm your current plan. Do not stop your treatment while waiting for an assessment; speak with your current care team.
How do I request an appointment?
Call +55 21 99986-5400 to ask about availability and appointment arrangements. Your appointment is booked only once reception confirms it.
