SECOND OPINION written
(Healthcare Report for Health Protection)
The written “Second Opinion” is dedicated to PATIENTS RESIDENT OUTSIDE OF ITALY who can obtain it without leaving their country of origin.
The Second Opinion concerns pathologies of neurosurgical relevance.
Once the bureaucratic parts are completed, the written Second Opinion will be available in about one to two weeks.
Telephone or video contacts are not foreseen.
Limits and advantages of the written Second Opinion
The written second opinion can serve, in particular, as a screening tool to collect information and identify patients who may need to undergo an outpatient neurosurgical examination to confirm the diagnosis and evaluate the possibility of surgical therapy.
It must be remembered that, in most cases, the data obtained from the outpatient medical examination complete the evaluation of the clinical case and allow us to express conclusive diagnostic and therapeutic opinions.
During the outpatient neurosurgical visit, the need for diagnostic completion with appropriate additional tests may be found.
After undergoing the required tests, the patient can choose whether to return for a subsequent outpatient visit or send the reports and images of the requested tests by mail or via the Internet.

DESCRIPTION, RULES AND PRICE
When the doctor provides a written Second Opinion via the web, he is not aware of your physical condition and some information that is acquired only through a medical visit in the office.
This limitation may affect the doctor's opinion regarding the diagnosis and treatment.
Therefore, the recommendations should be shared with your primary care physician to minimize potential risks to your health.
When you agree to use our service, you acknowledge this limitation and agree to assume the associated risk.
Consequently, the patient is aware that the requested Second Opinion is based on the reports and medical records provided and accepts that Dr. VERONESI cannot assume any responsibility for the quality and content of these external documents.
When you request a written Second Opinion, you agree that:
· The assessment of your case will be written in the Second Opinion report that will be sent to you by email in PDF format;
· The Second Opinion will be based on the answers to the questionnaire that will be sent to you, on the previous medical reports that you will have provided and on the radiological images that will have been evaluated;
· The Second Opinion is informative and is not intended to replace a full medical evaluation or an on-site visit with a physician;
· The Second Opinion does not provide pertinent information usually obtained during an outpatient examination, thus limiting the diagnosis of a condition, disease or injury;
· The patient will also send the recommendations resulting from the written Second Opinion to his or her referring physician.
This service is subject to Italian law.
