Many people feel uncertain about their diagnosis or treatment plan, and it is not unusual to want reassurance before making important decisions about your care. You may seek a medical second opinion if you are unclear about your condition, unsure about the treatment plan being proposed, or would like advice from a different specialist.

If you have previously received a diagnosis through the NHS or another private medical provider and would like further clarity, Mayo Clinic doctors can carry out a comprehensive clinical assessment of your symptoms and condition.

Using advanced diagnostics and additional investigations where needed, our consultants work to establish an accurate diagnosis and the most appropriate treatment plan for you.

At Mayo Clinic Healthcare, you can benefit from expertise across a wide range of clinical specialties. We offer expert medical second opinions across our specialities, including:

Cardiology (heart specialists)

Cancer screening & oncology

Endocrinology (hormone specialists)

Gastroenterology (digestive specialists)

Neurology (brain & nervous system specialists)

Orthopaedics (bone & joint specialists)

Rheumatology (autoimmunity specialists)

Respiratory (lung & breathing specialists)

Our consultants will review your medical history and any existing results to provide an expert assessment of your condition or diagnosis.
You might have multiple reasons for considering a second opinion, such as:

You are not confident about your current diagnosis or want to expand further on your diagnosis

You are concerned that your diagnosis doesn’t fit your symptoms

You have been told that there is nothing wrong with you, but you still don’t feel right

You feel misunderstood by previous doctors

You have tried several treatments in the past and feel none of them worked

You’re suffering from unwanted side effects

You have unanswered questions about your current treatment plan

You want to try other medications or non-pharmacological treatments

This service is provided by Mayo Clinic in London and is not related to Mayo Clinic in the US. We are therefore unable to provide second-opinion consultations for patients seeking a review from Mayo Clinic in the US.
