Browse verified specialists
Filter by specialty, language, price, and availability. Every doctor on the platform has been verified — medical license checked with their national board, ID confirmed, and credentials reviewed by our medical advisory team.

Book a time that works for you
Pick a slot from the doctor's real-time calendar. Most consultations happen within 48 hours, and many specialists offer same-day appointments. You pay only when the consultation is confirmed — no upfront charges.

Share your case securely
Upload your scans, lab reports, and any previous diagnoses. Add a description of your case in your own words. Everything you share is encrypted, accessible only to the doctor you booked, and never sold or shared with third parties.

Consult, then receive your written report
Meet the specialist via secure video call (typically 30 minutes). Afterwards, they write a detailed second-opinion report you can download and share with your treating physician. Follow-up questions are included for 7 days after your consultation.
What you receive
A written second-opinion report
A formal document summarising the doctor's assessment, agreement or disagreement with prior recommendations, and any suggested next steps. Yours to share with your treating physician.
7 days of follow-up
Ask clarifying questions about your report via secure messaging for a full week after your consultation. For deeper follow-ups, you can always book another session.
What Secondoctor is not
We want to be clear about our role so you can use the platform well.
Not a replacement for your doctor
A second opinion is information, not a prescription. Decisions about your treatment are made by you and your treating physician, who knows your full case history.
Not for emergencies
If you're experiencing a medical emergency, please call your local emergency services immediately. Online consultations are not designed for urgent care.
Not for prescriptions
Our specialists provide opinions, not prescriptions. Whether a doctor can prescribe across borders depends on their licensing — most cannot. Your treating physician is the right person for prescriptions.
