The facts, in one scan.
WHITEGLOVEMD is a physician-founded heart-surgery second-opinion service. A cardiac surgeon and cardiologist independently review the required records and imaging, then co-sign one patient-facing report.
The written report does not include a live physician consultation. It supports—not replaces—the clinicians responsible for diagnosis, treatment, and emergency care.
