Remote Second Opinion Service

UC San Diego Medical Center physicians and surgeons are pleased to partner with physicians abroad to help confirm a diagnosis and treatment plan, or recommend additional treatment options.

Our Second Opinion Medical Consultation (SOMC) program is an excellent option for physicians who want to offer their patients all possible options for care. The SOMC program is designed to be an extension of your practice. UCSD physicians and surgeons will work with you to review your patient's medical history and diagnostic records, and help to give your patients confidence in your recommended course of treatment. We work directly with physicians because we recognize that only you are uniquely qualified to interpret our medical opinion and devise a treatment plan best suited to your patient’s condition.
