1 in 2 patients receives a different treatment plan – after a second opinion.¹

Medical decisions are often rushed or based on incomplete information. A second opinion can help you avoid unnecessary surgeries, incorrect diagnoses, or aggressive treatments.

Here’s what studies from top German health insurers reveal:

  • Many surgeries are avoidable or can be safely postponed

  • Diagnoses are often incomplete or incorrect

  • Treatment plans may rely on outdated or overly aggressive methods

  • Patients are rarely informed about safer or better alternatives

Without a second opinion, many patients agree to procedures they don’t fully understand – or that aren’t even necessary.

What Our Patients Say

Spine Surgery Avoided

"I was scheduled for lumbar spine surgery due to chronic back pain and a suspected disc herniation (L5-S1). Before going through with it, I submitted my case to AskGermanDoc. The German specialist reviewed my MRI and concluded that conservative treatment was still a valid option. Thanks to that second opinion, I avoided surgery – and after 3 months of physiotherapy, my symptoms improved significantly. I’m incredibly relieved and thankful." David H., 47, Manchester

Cardiologist Found a Better Plan

"I asked for a second opinion regarding a heart condition (mild mitral valve regurgitation and high blood pressure). The cardiologist from AskGermanDoc provided a detailed review of my case and suggested a change in medication – plus recommended further diagnostic testing that hadn’t been considered before. The process was fast, clear, and very professional. I finally feel like I have a treatment plan that really fits my case." Johan M., 61, Rotterdam
