The first choice for a second opinion

Get a second opinion from one of the nation's most elite cardiovascular hospitals

As an award-winning cardiovascular treatment institution, Baylor Scott & White The Heart Hospital – Plano has been known for more than a decade for its advanced minimally invasive and surgical treatment of heart and vascular conditions and delivery of quality care and outcomes.

If you’ve been told there is no treatment option for your complex cardiovascular condition, or if an invasive procedure such as open-heart surgery has been recommended, getting a second opinion can not only give you peace of mind but may result in a less invasive treatment option.

Know all of your options

Contrary to popular belief, many doctors welcome opinions from other physicians. In fact, the American College of Surgeons has deemed a second opinion before surgery as good medical practice.

Many times, an expert second opinion can reinforce your current treatment strategy, providing comfort in moving forward. A second opinion may also result in less invasive treatment options or those that can be performed on an outpatient basis, potentially reducing pain, recovery time and cost.

Many people seek a second opinion based on:

• A specific cardiovascular specialization that may be necessary
• A higher level of experience from the physician and treatment team
• A facility with a positive regional or national reputation
• Access to new technology or innovative treatment options

Comprehensive, personalized recommendations

After meeting with you and conducting a thorough evaluation of your records, our team will generate a comprehensive report prepared exclusively for you. Each report includes an overview of the cardiovascular team’s opinion of your condition and your medical history, physical examination and testing (including images if appropriate). The report will conclude with our team’s expert opinion about the best treatment option for you.

Physicians in the Second Opinion Center may consult with experts at one of the 10 specialty clinics at The Heart Hospital - Plano Outpatient Services. These clinics give them access to multi-disciplinary teams who focus on subspecialties like heart failure, heart rhythm, heart valve/structural issues and even diabetic wound treatment. Patients will benefit from the expertise of these specialists, ensuring their second opinion has been thoroughly examined.

In addition to an examination of your case, patients may undergo simple or complex diagnostic tests such as:

• CT scans
• Echocardiograms
• Nuclear medicine studies
• Exercise stress testing
• Vascular testing for circulation problems
• Pulmonary function tests
• The Second Opinion Center experts may also recommend that patients participate in advanced research studies and clinical trials they qualify for underway at The Heart Hospital – Plano.
