USARAD HOLDINGS INC, SECONDOPINIONS.COM® Pioneers Specialty On-Demand Telemedicine And Second Opinion Service At Houston-Based, Mission Bend Freestanding ER Chain
Fort Lauderdale, FL (PRWEB) October 30, 2014 -- USARAD Holdings Inc., a leading US Joint Commission Accredited teleradiology and specialty telemedicine solutions provider, including SecondOpinions.com®, announced today that in addition to its existing teleradiology services at Mission Bend ER, it is now adding multispecialty second opinion and expert telemedicine services, to the state-of-the-art, 24/7, freestanding ER chain in Houston, Texas.
As a result of this innovative partnership, there will be many benefits to the patient compared to that of a typical hospital emergency room visit including; reduced costs, quicker service and around-the-clock access to top expert physicians in multiple specialties. Patients are seen by a board certified, specialty physician within 10 minutes or less where they will receive high quality, comprehensive, medical evaluation and diagnosis and optimal treatment plans.

Digital images (MRI, CT and others) are uploaded to a HIPAA-regulated, secure, confidential platform and medical staff will receive a report within hours. In addition, doctors in virtually every medical specialty are on standby to provide consultations via phone or video chat. “We are pleased to team up with Mission Bend Freestanding ER and their highly trained emergency medicine professionals to provide this truly pioneering service to their patients," said Michael Yuz, MD, MBA, Founder and CEO of USARAD and SecondOpinions.com.
