FAQ
Medicine is growing more complex and changing faster than ever before due to technological advances, new discoveries, and pharmacological improvements. With so many new advances, it becomes increasingly difficult for any one doctor to stay on top of it all. Second opinions are designed to support physicians and patients. The correct diagnosis of a serious illness can be a complex process since it might need a multi-disciplinary approach.
Treatments for serious illnesses are constantly being refined and updated based on new medical research and innovation. Therefore, the team that reviews your case may have access to research that other physicians may not be familiar with, which could modify your existing treatment plan and assure you the recommended treatment plans are based on the latest information and research available.
Our partners have provided a multitude of in-depth second medical opinions around the world, for a wide variety of illnesses, including serious and complex. Although some of our partners have a standard list of conditions, we will work to find a partner or center of excellence to cover your condition or request.
Through The Health Bank Nexus, we work with the very best institutions and physicians worldwide, particularly in the USA, UK, and UAE. We assess your case requirements and work within your preferences, including location, language, insurance and more, prior to matching your case to specialists and institutions.
