Great medicine welcomes a second look.
A second opinion is not a challenge to your doctor. It is how careful medicine is practiced at the world's leading institutions, where complex cases are routinely reviewed by more than one expert.
Your case deserves the same rigor. Evidence evolves quickly, treatment options multiply, and the right path is rarely obvious from a single vantage point.
A second opinion adds information. Every decision about your care remains where it belongs: with you and your treating physician.
From your first upload to full clarity.
A guided, human process. You will know where your case stands at every step.

Everything patients ask us first.
A medical second opinion is an independent review of your diagnosis and treatment plan by another qualified physician. At Apex Opinion, that physician is a US board-certified specialist who studies your complete records and provides a clear written assessment you and your doctor can use together.
Start your case, upload your medical records through our secure guided intake, and we match you with a US board-certified specialist in your condition. You receive a written second opinion in 5 to 7 business days, with the option to discuss it on video. The entire process happens online.
Apex Opinion consultations start at $500 for a comprehensive written second opinion. Your total is itemized before you pay anything: the specialist's professional fee and the Apex platform fee. There are no hidden charges and no insurance paperwork.
Published research suggests it can be. In a study at a leading US cancer center, independent expert reviews brought new considerations to light in roughly one of every three cases. And even when a review supports your current plan, that reassurance has real value. Whatever your report says, every decision about your care remains with you and your treating physician.
No. You share records from home, your specialist reviews them remotely, and your report is delivered to your secure account. There is no travel, no visa, and no waiting room.
No. Your treating physician remains responsible for your medical needs, including any decisions about whether and how to use observations from your second opinion report in your care plan. Our report is independent expert input for that conversation.
Typically your diagnosis reports, imaging and scan reports, lab results, pathology or biopsy reports where relevant, and a summary of treatments so far. Do not worry about getting it perfect: we review your upload and tell you if anything is missing before the specialist begins.
Your written report is delivered in 5 to 7 business days once your records are complete. If you choose a video discussion, it is scheduled shortly after you receive the written report, at a time that works across time zones.
