Define your question first
Confirming a diagnosis, reviewing a proposed plan and exploring alternatives are different tasks. Write down what you want to understand and discuss the request with your treating doctor.
Gather existing information
Prepare summaries, reports, results of completed investigations and a short treatment timeline. Do not arrange additional tests solely for sending records: the reviewing specialist will clarify what is needed.
Agree on the format
Clarify document language, secure transfer, review fees and the form of the final report. A second opinion may support the original plan or suggest further discussion; it does not automatically mean changing treatment.
