TESTIMONIALS

We love our patients & our partners

These are some of the outstanding institutions which our doctors were trained.
Don’t take our word for it, see what our customers say.

“I have been suffering from low back pain for a long time. I was having such pain that I was at the brink of losing my ability to walk. I had an MRI which offered little clarity. I heard about The Medical Consultant and received a second opinion consult for my MRI which not only gave much more detail than the first report but also clearly identified where the nerve impingement was. The Medical Consult has given me hope.“

Does insurance ever cover second opinions?

The Medical Consultant is a self-pay service and does not bill medical insurance. However, you will be provided with a report and at you request we can provide you with a receipt which you can submit to your insurance company.

Will you tell me if the quality of my examination was not good enough?

There are great variabilities in the different imaging equipment that imaging providers use. The quality can also be heavily affected by your body weight, body morphology, motion by you during the exam, as well as artifacts that can
occur. However, even exams that are not perfect still usually offer some diagnostic information. As part of your second opinion the specialist will let you know if your exam is non diagnostic or of limited value in diagnosing your illness.
