About A Second Opinion

UNBIASED
MEDICAL ADVICE

Counseling and health education of patients and their kin is a well-refined art that is honed through years of experience. With the advent of the internet, there is enough medical information available across all platforms. However, there is also an explosion of mis-information. In addition, the medical fraternity is fraught with market forces, lack of time, and inaccessibility.

PATIENT TESTIMONIALS

Sanchaita Gajapati Raju

In this day & age, where medical care has become a business, it is heartening to find senior doctors like Dr Bajaj, who are compassionate & caring and generous with their time.

Vignesh Venkatasubramaniam

I had lot of questions in my mind for years together for which I did not have any answers till I got to have a one on one connect with Dr K.V.Krishnan. He gave me proper directions and possible solutions within 30 minutes. He was extremely friendly and helped me understand things in an easier way. Will highly recommend.

Vijayalakshmi A

Dr. Sheela Kuruvilla took the time to listen to my concerns, reviewed my history carefully, and explained the nature of the condition in a way that was easy to understand. She offered a clear treatment plan that included both medical and lifestyle recommendations to my specific needs. I felt heard, respected, and genuinely cared for throughout the session.

Ravi Durairaj

Dr. Seshadri is an excellent expert endocrinologist with vast experience and extensive knowledge. He spent a lot of time asking relevant questions and listened attentively to the details of my condition. Whereas other doctors guessed my condition, Dr. Seshadri has provided tests to diagnose the condition out of three options. I would strongly recommend Dr. Seshadri to anyone with any issue that needs an endocrinologist’s attention

Vani Dhingra

Thank you Dr. K. Manikandan for describing the facts … excellent way of explaining the reports.

Haseen Fathima

I’m a Pediatrician running a level 2 NICU centre in a small town. Took help from Dr Lalitha Krishnan through this website for a case discussion. Since it’s an official website, the parents too were confident in our decisions, they got to discuss with Ma’am and I had opportunity to ask for professional help. The outcome was great and the parents were happy too.

Romila Indira-Sudhakar

I fixed a consultation with Dr. Thomas the gastroenterologist for my father. The session was so beautifully detailed, and my father got a lot of clarity about how to proceed treatment wise. Our thanks to Dr. Thomas and the entire team behind second opinion for bringing this service to our homes

Dr Hemang Ashwinkumar

This is the best that can happen to the world of medical consultation and treatment. Based in Gujarat, we couldn’t have physically accessed the expertise of Dr. Ganesh Gopalakrishnan. On account of the online facility created by the Second Opinion, we could consult him and benefit immensely from his suggestions. Dr. Ganesh gave us a patient hearing, allayed all our apprehensions and gave us precious tips to follow. Our experience with his consultation has been thoroughly gratifying. I highly recommend A Second Opinion as a go-to site for medical guidance.

Lakshmanan Palaniappan

Excellent setup. The entire process starting from booking the appointment to the consultation was very smooth. Saves a lot of time and effort that is normally spent in a hospital. The Doctor was very cordial and reassuring.

Indira Menon

Dr. Prasanth was very friendly and addressed all the queries very clearly.

Ashidha Gopal

Happy to share that second opinion site has an experienced doctors where we can make video consultation and their valuable and timely suggestions helped me to gain more confidence during my pregnancy and after delivery ..I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Dr.Lakshmi Seshadri Ma’am for making me get through my pregnancy smoothly and peacefully. Her timely advice helped me in so many ways. 

Dr. Rashmi

Experience with Dr Alka Ganesh was also very nice, she patiently listened to my father n my relatives on video conferencing. I forwarded her all relevant prescriptions n reports . She meticulously went thru all of them and gave a concise prescription deleting few medications (a major and a bold step) and a clearcut plan of action . She was humble enough to answer all my subsequent queries on call and also in msg. My father is doing much better now … thanx to her and God!!

Guillem Esber

I had a wonderful and smooth experience with the website and the service at A Second Opinion. Dr. Kisku was highly professional and kind, and spent as much as time discussing my health issues as I needed.

Malini Vigneswaran

Both my knee joints were in severe pain and I received conflicting advice on knee replacement. I consulted Dr. Shishir at A Second Opinion, who explained the procedure and gave me the confidence to go ahead with surgery. I have since had bilateral knee replacement and am going about all activities. I am really happy I went through the surgery. Thanks a lot to Dr Shishir for his advice.

Shweta Agarwal

I had a very good experience with A Second Opinion. From scheduling appointments, to any after appointment query, they are always there to help. Courteous staff and always available to assist!!

Lalit Bijlani

An excellent option to get an unbiased and educated opinion on your problem. I was very impressed with Dr. Ilangovan’s understanding and empathy with my issues. He was most helpful and worked for me.
