Virtual Second Opinions from Cleveland Clinic—Because Time and Quality Matter

Second opinions decrease the risk of a wrong diagnosis by half. But too often, getting in to see an expert can be so challenging that patients forego this step and rely on the initial diagnosis. In this conversation, Frank McGillin, CEO of The Clinic by Cleveland Clinic talks about how they’ve simplified the process so that patients can quickly get second opinions by experts at the Cleveland Clinic – virtually. Key Takeaways: Do your homework. Be clear about what question you are asking. Make sure that you get answers to the issue or questions giving you the most angst. See an expert. Don’t just see ANY doctor for a 2nd opinion. Select a doctor who is more experienced than the first in treating patients with YOUR condition. Be loyal to yourself..and your health…not your doctor. If you have more trust and better communication with the doctor offering a 2nd opinion…it is okay to switch your care. You owe it to yourself to get the best care for you.
