A second opinion,
when you actually need one.
Upload your medical records, describe your situation, and receive a structured opinion from a real specialist — usually within hours, never longer than a day.
A second medical opinion was once a thing of letters and waiting rooms. It belonged to the patient who had a friend in the profession, or who knew which corridor to walk down. We started InstaMed because that quiet kind of access should not be inherited.
Patients write to us with files they were given on a CD, photographs taken under hospital fluorescents, sentences from a discharge letter they have read more times than they can count. A real specialist — board-certified, in the right discipline, in the right country — reads it carefully. They write back in plain language. They explain what is settled, what is open, and what to ask next.
A correspondence, not a verdict
The opinion is not a diagnosis. It is the second pair of eyes that a thoughtful colleague would offer, written into a record you keep. You can ask follow-up questions in the same thread. The specialist can be reached again for a structured consultation by video, phone, or in person — invoiced separately, transparently, on terms you can read before you book.
We do not replace your doctor. We make it easier to disagree with one, or to agree with one for the right reasons. That is, in our reading of it, what a second opinion has always been.
Three chapters, written by you and by us.
Every case follows the same quiet path. There is no clock counting against you. You write, we read, a specialist replies.
CHAPTER 01
You write the situation as you understand it.
A guided form helps you describe what you know, what you have been told, and what you would like a second pair of eyes on. Upload PDFs, photographs, scans, or a DICOM link — the form is forgiving of every shape your records arrive in.
CHAPTER 02
A specialist reads it the way a colleague would.
Cases are matched by discipline, country, and language. The specialist reads the file carefully, asks for anything missing, and drafts a written opinion. Most cases are answered within a working day; complex ones take a little longer and you are told when.
CHAPTER 03
You receive an opinion you can act on.
The reply lands in your case thread. You can ask follow-up questions, request clarifications, or book a structured consultation by video, phone, or in person. Every opinion is yours to keep, share with your physician, or print.
Across cardiology, oncology, orthopaedics, neurology and 18 other disciplines.
