Submit Your Existing Medical Records
Send us the medical records you currently have.
Medical Record Organization
Our team organizes your medical history into a clear case structure that can be reviewed efficiently by specialists.
Where records are complete, this process can be completed in as little as 24 hours.
We will also identify important missing information before the case is sent to a specialist.
Specialist Matching
We match each case according to the diagnosis, disease stage, previous treatments, current medical questions and the clinical focus of individual specialists.
Our default approach is to prioritize experienced specialists from leading Chinese medical centers, including hospitals ranked among China’s top centers for the relevant specialty.
When appropriate, we prioritize professor-level or senior clinical physicians with substantial experience in the patient’s specific condition.
Specialist Review
The selected specialist reviews your medical history and the key clinical questions relevant to your case.
The specialist may confirm the current approach, recommend additional testing, reassess existing treatment options or identify alternative treatment strategies that may be worth considering.
Receive the Medical Opinion
HealSino coordinates delivery of the specialist’s medical opinion and helps international patients understand the recommended next steps.
If one specialist’s perspective is not sufficient, additional specialists or a multi-specialty review can also be coordinated.
OUR SPECIALIST MATCHING STANDARD
How We Select the Right Specialist for Your Case
China has thousands of senior doctors, but not every well-known physician is the right specialist for every case.
HealSino focuses on matching the patient’s specific medical problem with the physician’s actual clinical specialty.
Unless the patient specifically requests a more cost-effective option, we prioritize:
Leading specialty hospitals in China
Major tertiary medical centers
Senior specialists with substantial clinical experience
Professors or senior physicians focused on the patient’s specific disease area
Specialists with experience managing complex or advanced cases
Our goal is not simply to find a doctor quickly.
It is to identify a specialist whose clinical experience is relevant to the patient’s actual condition.
MULTI-SPECIALTY SECOND OPINION
MULTI-SPECIALTY REVIEW
Yes. Complex medical decisions do not always belong to a single specialty.For example, an advanced cancer case may require input from medical oncology, surgical oncology, radiation oncology, interventional medicine, pathology, molecular medicine or cellular therapy specialists.When appropriate, HealSino can coordinate opinions from multiple specialists or departments to provide a broader view of the available options.Multi-specialty review may be particularly useful for advanced or recurrent cancer, complex surgical decisions, patients who have received several previous treatments, and cases involving both local and systemic treatment strategies.
WHAT PATIENTS SHOULD PREPARE
The Better the Medical Information, the More Useful the Second Opinion
Whenever possible, provide:
Pathology and biopsy reports
CT, MRI and PET-CT reports
DICOM imaging files when available
Surgery records
Chemotherapy, immunotherapy or targeted therapy history
Molecular and genetic testing
Recent blood tests
Current medication
A clear timeline of previous treatment
The questions you most want the specialist to answer
Do not delay contacting us simply because your records are incomplete.
HealSino can first review what you have and identify which additional documents may be important.
IMPORTANT NOTES
What a Second Opinion Can and Cannot Do
A Second Opinion provides another professional medical perspective.
It does not guarantee that another specialist will recommend a different treatment.
The reviewing physician may:
Agree with the current treatment plan
Recommend additional testing
Suggest another treatment approach
Recommend an in-person assessment
Determine that a particular treatment is not appropriate
Treatment eligibility, diagnosis and all clinical decisions are made by licensed physicians and medical institutions.
