Why Start with a Second Opinion
A second opinion costs ₹1,500–₹2,500 ($18–$30) and helps you:
1. Confirm the diagnosis before traveling
2. Compare treatment plans from multiple hospitals
3. Identify the right specialist
4. Avoid unnecessary procedures
5. Plan timeline and budget accurately
For Indian patients too, recommended treatment can vary significantly across cities — and cost can vary 2–3x between metro and tier-2 city hospitals for the same procedure.
