Common questions
Do I need to travel to Nellore for a second opinion?
Not necessarily. You can share your reports on WhatsApp for a written opinion, or book an in-person consultation at C.R. Reddy Cancer Center.
Will a second opinion upset my current doctor?
Second opinions are a normal part of cancer care, and most oncologists welcome them, especially before major treatment decisions.
Is a written second opinion the same as a consultation?
No. A written opinion is advisory and does not replace an in-person consultation and examination.
