Explore a sample reportWHAT “ONLINE” ACTUALLY MEANS
The analysis happens before any live call.
This is a complete-record second opinion, not on-demand telehealth. Your physicians review the evidence first; live time is available only if you choose a consultation tier.
Remote
Upload records and imaging from home. No referral is required, and the written review does not require travel.
Record-based
The review begins only after the complete record and required imaging are available. A short form or isolated test is not enough.
Dual-specialist
A cardiac surgeon and cardiologist each review the case independently, then bring both perspectives into one report.
Decision support
The result is educational and informational. It does not diagnose, prescribe, or replace the clinicians responsible for your care.
WHEN AN ONLINE SECOND OPINION MAY HELP
When the decision is serious—and the next step still feels unclear.
- 01
You were told you need bypass, valve, aortic, rhythm, or another heart operation.
- 02
You want to understand why this procedure, why now, and what reasonable alternatives belong in the conversation.
- 03
You need both the cardiology and cardiac-surgery perspectives—not another isolated opinion.
- 04
You cannot easily travel to another major center before making a time-sensitive decision.
- 05
You want a written analysis you can review with your treating team and family.
An online review should never delay emergency or time-sensitive care directed by your treating clinicians.
WHITEGLOVE Insights™
Every page should add something you can use.
The written report is the foundation of every tier—built from the complete record, reviewed by both physicians, and designed for the next conversation with your treating team.

The decision you were given
The diagnosis, relevant history, proposed procedure, and stated reasoning—organized from the source record so you can see what is established and what remains uncertain.
Two specialist perspectives
A cardiac surgeon and cardiologist independently examine the same complete record, then reconcile the operating-room and cardiology perspectives in one co-signed report.
Guidelines beside your case
Current guideline classes are placed beside the clinical details that make them relevant, with the source and limits of the available record made visible.
Individualized surgical risk
When applicable, STS PROM, EuroSCORE II, and AATS are considered separately—then interpreted beside anatomy, workup, comorbidities, and details the models may not capture.
Your anatomy—not generic anatomy
Patient-facing explanations connect the imaging and findings in your record to the procedure being discussed, rather than offering generic heart education alone.
Options, alternatives, pros, and cons
Open, minimally invasive, catheter-based, staged, and medical paths are organized when relevant, including burdens, tradeoffs, and questions for your treating team.
What may still be missing
Incomplete testing, unresolved workup questions, and additional studies to consider with the clinicians responsible for your care are called out clearly.
Surgeon and center fit
When relevant, procedure-specific public outcomes, experience, geography, and practical considerations are organized for the next conversation.
Your questions, preserved
Questions raised during an optional consultation are captured with the reviewing physician’s answer so the conversation does not disappear when the call ends.
Practical next steps
A concise plan takes you back to your treating team, identifies missing information, and gives you the questions needed for a more informed decision.
Illustrative report preview. The content of an individual report depends on the complete record, available evidence, and the decision under review.
HOW IT WORKS
From scattered records to a clear next conversation.
You bring the question. The records team helps assemble the evidence, the Heart Team reviews it, and the final report makes the analysis usable.

Request a complimentary callWhat is an online cardiac second opinion?+
It is a remote, medical-record-based review of a cardiac or heart-surgery decision. With WHITEGLOVEMD, a cardiac surgeon and cardiologist independently review the complete record, confer, and co-sign one written WHITEGLOVE Insights™ report. Live physician consultation is optional and begins with the $995 tier.
Is this the same as an online cardiology appointment?+
No. The foundation is asynchronous review of the complete medical record by two specialists, not an on-demand video visit. Consultation tiers add scheduled live time with one or both reviewing physicians after the record has been analyzed. The service does not replace your treating cardiologist or surgeon.
Who reviews my case?+
Every case is reviewed by both an independent cardiac surgeon and cardiologist. They bring different perspectives to the same record and co-sign one written Heart Team report.
How much does an online cardiac second opinion cost?+
The written Heart Team review starts at $495 and includes both physician reviews and the co-signed written report. Live consultation is optional: $995 includes one reviewing physician, $1,495 includes both physicians, and the $2,495 Concierge tier adds access through the day of surgery. WHITEGLOVEMD is a direct-pay service and does not submit an insurance claim.
How quickly will I receive the report?+
The written report is delivered within 24 hours after the complete medical record and required imaging have been received. The clock does not begin while records are incomplete. The records team will identify missing items and can help with collection when authorized.
Do I need a referral or need to travel?+
No referral is required, and the medical-record review is completed remotely. You can upload records and receive the written report without traveling to another hospital. If the review identifies a reason to seek in-person care elsewhere, you decide what to do next with your treating team.
What records are needed for an online review?+
The exact record depends on the condition and proposed procedure. It commonly includes specialist notes, echocardiography, catheterization, CT or MRI studies, laboratory results, hospital records, prior operative reports, and the proposed plan. Upload what you have, and the records team can help identify what is still needed.
Can I use this for bypass, valve, aortic, or rhythm surgery?+
Yes. The service can review decisions involving coronary bypass surgery, aortic or mitral valve procedures, aortic aneurysm repair, AFib surgery, redo operations, minimally invasive approaches, and other complex cardiac decisions when an adequate record is available.
Can I share the report with my current doctors?+
Yes. The 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.
Does WHITEGLOVEMD diagnose or recommend 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 your treatment.
What if I have chest pain or urgent symptoms right now?+
WHITEGLOVEMD is not an emergency service. Call 911 or seek immediate local emergency care for chest pain, severe shortness of breath, fainting, new weakness, or any other urgent symptoms. Do not wait for an online second opinion.
