A second opinion can confirm the initial diagnosis or recommendation you received, or it may simply provide you with more options.
Receiving a cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming, and it’s natural to have questions about your treatment options. Getting a second opinion is an important step in taking control of your care. At USA Health Mitchell Cancer Institute, our cancer specialists offer expert evaluations to confirm your diagnosis, review your treatment plan, and explore the latest, most effective options available.
A second opinion can provide peace of mind or open the door to new possibilities for your care. No referral is needed, and appointments are easy to schedule. You deserve confidence in your treatment plan – let our team help you make the most informed decision about your health.
Call 251.410.1010 to schedule your consultation.
Talk to your doctor about any concerns you may have. Your doctor needs to know that you are requesting a second opinion in order to provide a different physician with all the necessary information to evaluate your medical condition or history. Your current physician’s office will send your medical records to your secondary physician’s office via fax, mail or email.
Please contact your insurance provider to discuss whether or not a second opinion is covered by your plan. Some providers require a recommendation or may not cover a second opinion. Be thorough in your questions, and don’t hesitate to advocate for yourself.
