Who it is for

When it is worth asking for an expert opinion

You already have a diagnosis, a recommended surgery or a treatment plan. Before you go ahead, you want a specialist to look at it independently.

  1. You have been advised surgery or a major procedure.
  2. You have a cancer diagnosis or a treatment plan for cancer.
  3. Two doctors have told you different things.
  4. Treatment hasn't worked the way you expected.
  5. The condition is rare or complicated.
  6. You want to understand your reports properly before deciding.

Asking for someone in the family

You can start a case for your child, with a parent's consent, or for an adult relative, with their permission.

    FAQ

    Questions people ask first

    Something else? Write to support@medicalopinion.in or see all the ways to reach us.

    Is this a replacement for my doctor?

    No. It's an independent written opinion to discuss with your treating doctor. It isn't emergency care and doesn't involve a physical examination.

    Who reviews my case?

    A specialist in the relevant field, registered with a State Medical Council or the NMC, whose registration and qualifications our team has checked.

    What do I need to upload?

    Your recent reports: scans, lab results, discharge summaries, prescriptions. A photo ID of the patient too.

    How long does it take?

    Within 72 hours of a specialist being assigned.

    Is my data safe?

    Your files are encrypted and stored in India (Mumbai). Only our operations team and the specialist assigned to your case can see them, and every time a document is opened it is logged. We never sell data or share it with advertisers.

    What if I change my mind?

    If you choose to cancel before a specialist is assigned, we refund your payment minus a ₹99 cancellation charge. If no specialist is available to take your case, or yours can't continue, you get a full refund. Other refunds are reviewed case by case; the refund policy has the details.

    Why isn't it free?

    The fee pays the specialist to read everything properly. We don't run a hospital or sell treatment, so there is nothing else to make the money back on.
