About Us
Advanced Specialist care
A second opinion is an important part of becoming educated about your medical conditions and your treatment options. The more you can learn about your diagnosis and your treatment options, the better chance you have of receiving the most appropriate treatment. Quick and convenient access to a virtual expert opinion prior to treatment helps eliminate unnecessary surgeries and misdiagnoses.
My daughter was misdiagnosed when she broke her spine. I was not satisfied about the reports that were given to us. Hence I sought a second opinion from a different specialist. I submitted all the reports along with the MRI scans. This time, the specialist provided a completely different diagnosis altogether, which enabled us to change her care plan. There was no need for expensive treatment or any kind of intervention. I felt that there will be many people going through a similar situation. That's how Better MDs was born.
