Footnotes: 1 U.S. only. 2 The written report will be sent to your requesting physician (where applicable), with a courtesy copy delivered to you.

The Services provided through the Platform are considered virtual second opinion services and are different from the diagnostic services provided by a traditional in-person encounter with a healthcare provider. The physicians providing the Services will not have the benefit of information that would be obtained by examining you in-person and observing your physical condition firsthand. In some cases, the missing facts may be critical to the accuracy of the physician’s understanding and opinion. There is no physician-patient relationship established through your use of the Services. The physician does not assume responsibility for your ongoing care. Responsibility for your care and treatment will remain with your local requesting and treating physician. See TERMS OF USE for more information.

Alert IronWe offer virtual second opinions everywhere in the U.S. except for patients located in Maine, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota and Tennessee.  While we are working hard to make our services available everywhere, if you currently live in one of these states, you may seek an in-person second opinion at one of Cleveland Clinic’s locations.
