“According to the latest research, 150 million Americans search for health information online and what they find can sometimes be inaccurate and difficult to understand,” said Steve Meadows, MD, Chief Medical Officer of iHealthSpot. The addition of our reliable, easy-to-understand Patient Education on SecondOpinions.com will help those people who are looking to obtain a second opinion, better understand their medical problem. We are truly excited to bring this information to their user base.”

“Not only is it essential for every patient who has an advanced radiological scan such as an MRI or CT scan to get a second opinion,” says Michael Yuz, MD, MBA, CEO and Founder of SecondOpinions.com, we also want our registered patients to be educated about the importance of second opinions, as well as, empower them to learn more about the conditions affecting them. We believe the robust iHealthSpot patient education library allows us to achieve this goal.”
