Second Opinion

Aurora BayCare's Cardiac Care Second Opinion Program

There is no such thing as a routine heart procedure. Every person is different. Regardless of your condition or diagnosis, a second opinion can help ease your worries and answer your questions.

Best of all, you may have a less invasive, less painful, non-surgical alternative, one that could have you feeling better sooner. A second opinion from the experienced team of cardiac specialists at Aurora BayCare Medical Center can give you peace of mind.

Getting a second opinion is easy

Once you decide you want a second opinion, Aurora BayCare's cardiac team is ready to help. You can request to schedule an appointment for a second opinion online or by calling toll-free 1-866-880-8679.

  • A Second Opinion Navigator will ask a brief number of questions to better understand your current medical situation while capturing information on any diagnostic tests or surgeries you have had related to the reason for your call.
  •  After a navigator has collected your information, a member of the cardiac team will review and call you back within 24 hours to schedule you with the specialist who is most appropriate for your needs. Prior to your appointment, Aurora BayCare Medical Center can even request your medical records from another clinic or hospital, which pertain specifically to your condition when appropriate. This information helps to reduce or eliminate charges for duplicate testing.
  • During your appointment, the physician will review your condition with you and discuss appropriate treatment options. You'll talk about your original diagnosis and all the treatment options available to you.

Whatever you decide, there's never any obligation to come to Aurora BayCare Medical Center for treatment or to use an Aurora Health Care or BayCare Clinic physician. So before committing to a new cardiac treatment or procedure, be sure you know all of your options.
