Neurosurgery Second
Opinion Program

Welcome

Emory’s Neurosurgery Second Opinion Program offers you access to a team of internationally recognized surgeons and neuro-radiologists without leaving your home. After being diagnosed with a brain or spine condition, you may be frightened, anxious and have questions regarding your next steps in care. Getting a second opinion can help you make important treatment decisions and can provide peace of mind.

If you have received a diagnosis or recommendation for treatment and want another opinion, our program can help you make a more informed decision. Getting a second opinion from us is easy, convenient, and all done remotely.

How it Works

Please note that most insurance plans will not cover the cost of a remote second opinion. The fee for a remote second opinion is $500.

Step 1: Call 678-944-9871 or fill out our online form.

Step 2: A coordinator will contact you to answer any questions you may have and walk you through the items needed for us to complete your second opinion.

You will be provided with instructions on how to upload medical records and/or imaging.

Step 3: Once these items have been received, an Emory neurosurgeon and/or neuroradiologist will review your case.

Step 4: You will be provided with a written second opinion report within 7 – 10 business days. Your report will include an assessment and recommendations based on the records and imaging provided.
