WHAT WE DO

From scattered cardiac records to one clear second opinion.

We help collect what is missing. Then a cardiac surgeon and cardiologist independently review the complete case and co-sign one patient-facing report before you decide about heart surgery.

Cardiac surgery + cardiologyIndependent review. One shared written conclusion.

FROM RECORDS TO CLARITY

We handle the process around the decision.

You should not have to reconstruct a complex cardiac case or coordinate a second hospital system on your own. We make the record ready for expert review.

  1. 01

    Tell us what you were told

    Start online or request a complimentary orientation call. No referral or complete record is needed for the first conversation.

  2. 02

    We help gather the evidence

    Upload what you have. With your authorization, our records team can help collect the notes, testing, reports, and imaging needed for review.

  3. 03

    Two specialists review one case

    A cardiac surgeon and cardiologist independently examine the complete record, then bring both perspectives into one written review.

  4. 04

    Receive a report you can use

    Your co-signed report is delivered within 24 hours after all required records and imaging are confirmed complete. Consultation tiers add live physician time.

TWO SIDES OF THE DECISION

The operating room and the cardiology suite, at the same table.

A surgeon may focus on anatomy, operative strategy, technical risk, and recovery. A cardiologist may focus on physiology, medications, catheter-based options, and longitudinal care. Your review brings both views together.

What does WHITEGLOVEMD do?

WHITEGLOVEMD helps patients facing heart surgery obtain an independent review of the complete medical record. A cardiac surgeon and cardiologist review the case and co-sign one patient-facing WHITEGLOVE Insights™ report.

Who reviews each heart surgery case?

Every review includes two independent physician perspectives: a cardiac surgeon and a cardiologist. The written report is co-signed by both reviewers.

Do I need to gather all of my records myself?

No. You can upload the records you already have. With your authorization, the records team can help request the remaining reports, notes, testing, and imaging needed for review.

How quickly is the review completed?

The 24-hour review window begins only after all required medical records and imaging are received and confirmed complete. If something is missing, the records team will identify it and can help with collection.

How much does the written heart surgery second opinion cost?

After your complimentary conversation, we email the package we recommend, what it includes, and the secure next step. The WHITEGLOVE Insights™ written review includes independent review by a cardiac surgeon and cardiologist and one co-signed patient-facing report. There is no cost to talk to us.

Can I speak live with the reviewing physicians?

Yes. The written review is the starting point. Consultation packages add live time with one reviewing physician or with both members of the WHITEGLOVE Heart Team.

What kinds of cardiac decisions can be reviewed?

Reviews may address bypass surgery, valve surgery, transcatheter options, aortic surgery, redo operations, atrial fibrillation procedures, heart failure surgery, and other major cardiac decisions when sufficient records and imaging are available.

Is this a replacement for my current surgeon or cardiologist?

No. WHITEGLOVEMD provides educational decision support and independent medical-record review. The service is designed to help you ask better questions and make the next conversation with your treating physicians more useful.

Do I need a referral or need to travel?

No referral is required, and the record review is completed remotely. If a different surgeon or center deserves consideration, your report can help frame that next conversation.

What if I have 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 other urgent symptoms.
