2nd opinions

Second opinions & complex referrals

Specialist assessment for difficult, failed or revision cases: upper-limb surgery, implant complications and reconstructive cases.

Seeking a second opinion: a useful and complementary approach

It is important that you provide us with the essential elements of your medical file: reports, imaging and treatments already performed.

For a second opinion, you must be referred by a doctor (general practitioner, other specialist doctor, insurance doctor).
