WHAT “ONLINE” SHOULD MEAN
The logistics are remote. The review is not abbreviated.
The complete record is reviewed asynchronously so both physicians can examine the source evidence before the written analysis is finalized.
Review the source record
The physicians examine the notes, testing, imaging, and proposed plan required for the question—not only a form or isolated report.
Read it twice
A cardiac surgeon and cardiologist review the same complete record independently, then confer before the report is finalized.
Receive it in writing
Every package includes one co-signed patient-facing report. Live physician time is optional.
DECISIONS WE CAN REVIEW
One virtual starting point for complex cardiac questions.
Whether a case can be reviewed depends on the question and the required record. The service does not remotely determine candidacy or issue treatment orders.
Coronary disease + bypass
Why bypass, stents, medical therapy, or another path is being discussed—and what shapes that comparison.
Valve procedures
Open, minimally invasive, transcatheter, repair, and replacement questions for aortic or mitral valve disease.
Aortic surgery
Aneurysm, root, ascending-aorta, arch, valve, genetic, surveillance, timing, and center-experience questions.
HCM + septal reduction
Phenotype, obstruction, symptoms, medication history, myectomy, alcohol septal ablation, rhythm, and center context.
Rhythm + AFib surgery
Rhythm history, prior treatment, stroke-risk context, proposed ablation or surgery, and questions for the treating specialists.
Redo + complex decisions
Repeat operations, combined procedures, minimally invasive approaches, prior devices or grafts, and recovery burden.
WHITEGLOVE Insights™
One written analysis for the treating team and family.
The report connects the source record, evidence, two physician perspectives, limits, tradeoffs, and next questions—without issuing a remote treatment order.
The decision you were given
Diagnosis, relevant history, source findings, proposed procedure or treatment, urgency, and the treating team’s documented reasoning.
Two physician perspectives
The operating-room and longitudinal cardiology views are developed independently, discussed together, and preserved in one report.
Evidence in your context
Applicable guideline and risk-model context is connected to the record, with inputs, missing information, and important limits visible.
Options and tradeoffs
Reasonable open, minimally invasive, catheter-based, medical, staged, surveillance, or further-evaluation paths when supported by the record.
What may still be missing
Incomplete records, unresolved findings, absent imaging, and questions that could materially change how the decision is understood.
Questions and next steps
A practical list for the treating team, including specialist or center fit when another opinion may be worth considering.

A DIFFERENT STARTING POINT
Online review and an in-person opinion serve different purposes.
The written review can organize the decision before you determine whether another appointment, specialist, surgeon, or hospital is necessary.

What is an online cardiac second opinion?+
It is a remote, medical-record-based review of a cardiac diagnosis, treatment, or procedure decision. With WHITEGLOVEMD, a cardiac surgeon and cardiologist independently review the same required records and imaging, confer, and co-sign one patient-facing WHITEGLOVE Insights™ report.
Is this the same as an on-demand cardiology video visit?+
No. The foundation is asynchronous review of the required medical record and imaging by two physicians, not an on-demand video visit. Insights™ includes the complete written review with no live physician consultation. Consult adds one scheduled live consultation with one reviewing physician.
Who reviews my case?+
A cardiac surgeon and cardiologist independently review the same required records and imaging, then confer and co-sign one report. Both reviews are included in every package.
Which cardiac decisions can be reviewed online?+
The service can review many decisions involving coronary bypass, valve procedures, aortic surgery, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, AFib or rhythm surgery, repeat operations, minimally invasive approaches, and other complex cardiac questions when the necessary records and imaging are available. Whether a specific case can be reviewed depends on the question and record.
What records are needed?+
The exact record depends on the condition and proposed path. It may include specialist notes, echocardiography, catheterization, CT or MRI studies, laboratory results, hospital records, prior operative or procedure reports, rhythm data, medication history, and the proposed plan. Upload what you have, and the records team can help identify what is still needed.
Do I need a referral or need to travel?+
No referral is required to begin, and no travel is required for the written medical-record review. If the report identifies a reason to consider an in-person specialist or center, you decide what to do next with the clinicians responsible for your care.
Can I share the report with my current doctors?+
Yes. The patient-facing report is designed to support a more productive conversation with your treating cardiologist, surgeon, primary care physician, and family. You decide whom to share it with and what action, if any, to take.
What does the written-review plan include?+
The $495 WHITEGLOVE Insights™ plan includes two independent physician reviews plus one co-signed written report. It does not include a live physician consultation. Every higher package includes the same written review and adds physician access or support.
Can I speak live with a reviewing physician?+
Yes. The $995 WHITEGLOVE Consult plan adds one live consultation with one reviewing physician. The $1,495 Heart Team plan includes both reviewing physicians together live. The $2,495 Concierge plan adds support through the day of surgery. All prices are one-time, and every package includes the $495 two-physician written review.
When does the 24-hour report window begin?+
The report is delivered within 24 hours only after all required records and imaging are received and confirmed complete. Time spent gathering missing records is outside the 24-hour window.
Does WHITEGLOVEMD diagnose or prescribe treatment online?+
No. WHITEGLOVEMD provides independent educational decision support and medical-record review. It does not diagnose, prescribe, perform procedures, establish a physician–patient relationship, provide emergency care, or replace the clinicians responsible for treatment.
What if I have chest pain or urgent symptoms now?+
Do not wait for an online review. Call 911 or seek immediate emergency care for new or severe chest pain, severe shortness of breath, fainting, stroke symptoms, sudden severe chest or back pain, or rapid worsening. WHITEGLOVEMD is not an emergency service, and a records review should never delay urgent evaluation or treatment.
