What to expect

Expert review, entirely remote.

You upload your imaging (DICOM, MRI, CT), pathology reports, labs, and your treating physician's notes through our HIPAA-compliant portal. Our coordinators route the case to the best-fit specialist and send you their CV, COFEPRIS license number, and hospital affiliations before the call — no surprises. Then comes a 60-minute video review where the specialist walks through every finding and answers every question.

Most of our oncologists and cardiologists trained at MD Anderson, Mayo Clinic, or Johns Hopkins before returning to Mexico, and practice in JCI-accredited hospitals (Hospital Ángeles, Médica Sur, ABC). You leave with a written, signed opinion on clinic letterhead — shareable with your US physician or insurer. Studies show ~30% of complex diagnoses change after a specialist second opinion.

What you can consult on

Every consultation includes a full record review, 60-minute video call, and written opinion — not a brief chat.

How much you'd save

All prices include the 60-minute video session and written opinion. No surprise bills, no upsells.

Second opinion FAQ

What patients ask before booking

Will my US doctor accept a second opinion from a Mexican specialist?
Most US physicians accept second opinions from any board-certified specialist regardless of country, as long as the report is formally documented and signed. The written opinion we provide includes the specialist's credentials, license number, and institutional affiliation. If your doctor challenges it, you're entitled to seek a second opinion — that's a patient right in every US state. Many patients find that presenting an expert dissenting opinion leads to a revised treatment plan or confirms the original one — either way, you have certainty.
Can Mexican specialists access my US imaging files?
Yes — we accept DICOM files (the standard radiology format exported from any US hospital), PDF radiology reports, and scanned pathology slides. You share files through our HIPAA-compliant encrypted upload portal. Specialists use hospital-grade DICOM viewers identical to those in US radiology departments. If you have physical slides, we can arrange slide digitization via a US-based lab partner ($150 add-on).
How do I know the specialist is actually qualified?
Before the call, you receive the specialist's: (1) Medical degree from UNAM or equivalent, (2) COFEPRIS license number (verifiable online at dgp.cofepris.gob.mx), (3) Board certification from the relevant Mexican Consejo, (4) List of fellowship training and hospital affiliations, (5) CV and publication list if applicable. Many of our oncologists and cardiologists trained at MD Anderson, Mayo Clinic, or Memorial Sloan Kettering before returning to Mexico. MediTours verifies credentials independently before listing any specialist.
What if the specialist agrees with my original diagnosis?
Then you move forward with full confidence — and the written confirmation still has value for your records and potentially for insurance appeals. Studies show that ~30% of complex diagnoses are changed or significantly modified after a specialist second opinion. The $90–180 cost is trivial compared to the cost of an unnecessary surgery or a delayed correct treatment. Either outcome gives you certainty.
Can I get a prescription from a Mexican doctor?
Mexican doctors can issue prescriptions valid in Mexico and many Latin American countries. A Mexican prescription is not valid at a US pharmacy for controlled substances (Schedule II–V) — however, many non-controlled medications (metformin, levothyroxine, lisinopril, SSRIs, etc.) can be purchased at Mexican pharmacies for 80–95% less than US prices and legally brought back for personal use in a 90-day supply. Your MediTours coordinator will clarify what's applicable to your situation.
A $90 video call could change your treatment plan.
