Before You Decide, Get a Second Opinion.
A major cardiac diagnosis — bypass surgery, stent implantation, valve replacement, or heart failure — deserves more than one expert view. Recommended by all major cardiology societies.
A Second Opinion is
Good Medical Practice
Dr. Amit Singh, FACC, reviews your existing reports, imaging, and angiogram independently — and provides a clear, written recommendation. No referral needed. Available in-clinic or by telehealth for patients across India.
How it Works
Simple, structured, respectful of your time.
Share Your Reports
Send us your angiogram report, echocardiogram, discharge summaries, current medications, and any operative notes via WhatsApp or email.
Consultation
In-clinic at Vashi, or by video call for out-of-station patients. Dr. Amit reviews every report independently.
Written Recommendation
You receive a clear, written second opinion letter — outlining his assessment and recommended next step. No jargon.
When Is a Second
Opinion Warranted?
A second opinion is appropriate any time a major decision is being made — particularly when the recommendation involves irreversible surgery or a diagnosis that fundamentally changes your life.
Advised Bypass Surgery
SYNTAX score, vessels involved, and diabetic status determine whether CABG is genuinely superior to angioplasty.
Advised Valve Surgery
TAVR now offers equivalent outcomes to surgery across risk categories. Many patients are candidates for a catheter approach.
'Multiple Blockages'
Not all blockages require stenting. FFR physiological testing confirms which lesions are truly significant.
Traveling Abroad
Patients planning procedures abroad who want an expert review of their records before committing.
'Too High Risk'
Many patients labelled high-risk or inoperable for surgery are excellent TAVR or complex PCI candidates with contemporary techniques.
Still Symptomatic
If you remain breathless or have chest pain despite treatment, the diagnosis may need re-evaluation.
Reduced EF Diagnosis
A newly diagnosed reduced EF requires a structured four-drug GDMT protocol. Ensure your regimen is complete.
Unclear Diagnosis
If you have received conflicting information or feel rushed into a decision without understanding it fully.

— Dr. Amit Singh, FACCSecond Opinion FAQ
Clear answers to help you navigate your treatment plan.
Clear answers to help you navigate your treatment plan.
01Do I need a referral to get a second opinion?
No, a referral is not required. You can book directly. A second opinion is a standard and respected part of modern medicine — you do not need permission from your current treating physician to seek another perspective on your care.
02Can I do the consultation via video call if I don't live in Navi Mumbai?
Yes. Telehealth consultations are available for out-of-station patients across India and internationally. You can send your reports via email or WhatsApp in advance, and Dr. Amit Singh will conduct a detailed video review with you.
03Will Dr. Amit speak to my current doctor if needed?
If you authorize it and if it is clinically necessary to coordinate care or clarify complex surgical timelines, Dr. Amit Singh can establish a physician-to-physician channel. However, your second opinion consultation remains entirely confidential by default.
