Surgical second opinions

Start with the decision you are facing.

Lung and esophageal pages provide education and eligibility inquiries. Our coordination team must confirm case eligibility, appropriately qualified reviewer availability, scope, and timing before any review can be arranged. An inquiry does not confirm case acceptance.

The decision in front of you

Move from “I was told” to “I understand.”

A recommendation for major surgery can feel final. It is still reasonable to ask whether the plan, timing, and approach fit you.

01

Is surgery the right next step?

Understand whether the recommendation fits the diagnosis, timing, and evidence in your records.

02

Which approach fits me?

Understand the proposed operation and appropriate nonsurgical alternatives when they are relevant.

03

What are the tradeoffs?

See the benefits, risks, and uncertainties in language you and your family can use.

04

What should I ask next?

Leave with focused questions for your treating team—not another pile of disconnected information.

Our cardiac review model

Two specialties. One accountable report.

The surgeon’s view and the cardiologist’s view are developed independently—then reconciled into one opinion you can actually use.

  • Cardiac surgeon reviews the operation, alternatives, technical strategy, and surgical considerations.
  • Cardiologist reviews the diagnosis, testing, medical and catheter-based options, and timing.
  • Both physicians confer and co-sign the final WHITEGLOVE Insights™ report.

How it works

From uncertainty to a clear next conversation.

We coordinate the work around you, so your energy can stay with the decision.

  1. 01

    Start simply

    Tell us what you are facing

    Request a complimentary call. Our patient coordination team responds during business hours, explains the process, and answers your initial questions. No referral or records are needed to start.

  2. 02

    Records, coordinated

    We gather the clinical picture

    For an accepted cardiac review, we collect and organize the required records and imaging with your authorization.

  3. 03

    Physician-led review

    Understand the proposed plan

    For cardiac cases, a cardiac surgeon and cardiologist review independently and co-sign one report. Lung and esophageal inquiries require separate confirmation of eligibility and reviewer availability.

  4. 04

    Clarity in hand

    Receive your written opinion

    For cardiac reviews, the report is delivered within 24 hours after the required records and imaging are confirmed complete. An inquiry does not promise a lung or esophageal review or turnaround.

Questions to askA focused agenda for your next conversation with your care team.

A family’s perspective

Clarity changes the conversation.

“My family member needed urgent heart valve surgery, and the referral process dragged on for weeks while we panicked. WHITEGLOVEMD cut through all of it—they reviewed everything, explained it in plain English, and connected us with a top surgeon nearby. We went from terrified to having a clear plan.”

Common questions

What families ask first.

Request a complimentary call
How quickly will I receive the second opinion?

For cardiac reviews, your written WHITEGLOVE Insights report is delivered within 24 hours after all required records and imaging have been received and confirmed complete. Lung and esophageal inquiries require confirmation of eligibility, reviewer availability, and timing before a review is arranged.

What happens after I request a call?

A member of our patient coordination team responds during business hours to understand the decision you are facing and explain the process. The first conversation is complimentary, with no obligation to purchase a review. We explain the available options and pricing before you decide.

Can I purchase a review without a call?

Existing cardiac packages can be purchased online without a call. For lung or esophageal surgery, start with an inquiry so our coordination team can confirm eligibility, review arrangements, and pricing before any purchase.

Do I need a referral?

No. You can request a complimentary call yourself. If you decide to move forward, we explain what records are needed and coordinate collection with your authorization.

Do I need to travel?

No travel is required for the written record review. Any live physician conversation is optional and, when appropriate, arranged remotely.

Will you replace my treating doctors?

No. WHITEGLOVEMD provides an independent written opinion to help you make a more informed decision with your family and treating team.

Before the next decision

You do not have to sort through this alone.

Begin with a complimentary conversation. We will listen, explain the process, and help you decide whether an independent review fits your situation.
