Neurosurgical second opinion
If you have received an MRI/CT report or a treatment recommendation, a neurosurgical second opinion can help you understand your options and the questions that still need to be clarified.
When it may be helpful
When you want to understand a diagnosis, discuss whether or when an operation is needed, or explore alternatives to a recommendation you have received. The assessment covers cranial and spinal conditions in adults and children.
Images are interpreted in context
The discussion starts with your symptoms, their progression, the available clinical examination, treatments and investigations. An isolated radiology report or a few screenshots cannot replace the complete imaging study. A direct neurological examination may be necessary.
What to prepare
- Your main question and a brief timeline of symptoms.
- Complete MRI/CT studies, preferably in DICOM format, together with reports and previous investigations.
- Recommendations, medical letters and current treatments.
- Where relevant, operative reports and histopathology results.

At the hospital or online
An in-person consultation allows a direct neurological examination. An online second opinion is booked through the external platform; whether a remote assessment is appropriate depends on the case and the information available. Fees, duration and availability are shown on the platform.
What the assessment aims to provide
A clear explanation of the findings and the assessment's limitations, with a plan for the next steps: further investigations, monitoring, non-surgical treatment or discussion of surgery, as appropriate. A second opinion does not automatically lead to a different recommendation or an indication for surgery.
