When confronted with a new diagnosis or treatment, a second opinion from a specialty physician can offer you peace of mind and self-assurance knowing that you are making well-informed decisions about your healthcare.

Yale Medicine offers a second opinion program using PinnacleCare, a confidential healthcare advisor service that can coordinate a second opinion appointment using your mobile phone, tablet or computer. Through PinnacleCare VirtualConnect, you can receive a second opinion from a Yale Medicine specialty physician right in the comfort of your home.

New or unclear diagnosis
New treatment
