An expert, integrative perspective on a diagnosis or treatment plan — for patients and families navigating a difficult moment, wherever you are. A focused advisory consultation, by secure video.
A complex diagnosis. A treatment plan that isn't working. A loved one who seems stuck in a system that treats them in fragments. These are the moments when a single, expert perspective can change everything — and when geography shouldn't stand in the way of getting it.
The global second opinion is a focused consultation in which I review your history and records, listen closely, and offer an honest, integrative read on the situation: what the picture looks like across mind, body, brain, and spirit, what options exist, and what I would consider next. You can bring that perspective back to your own treating physicians, anywhere in the world.
Patients and families worldwide who want a sophisticated, whole-person perspective — especially when conventional care has stalled, when the situation is complex or high-stakes, or before making a major decision about treatment, hospitalization, or a change in direction.
A global second opinion is an advisory consultation only. It does not establish a physician–patient relationship, does not constitute ongoing psychiatric treatment, and does not include prescriptions, the ordering of tests, or emergency care. It is designed to inform and guide you, your family, and the clinicians already caring for you. Establishing ongoing care is possible only where I am licensed to practice.
A brief, confidential inquiry describing the situation and what you're hoping to understand.
You securely provide the relevant history, notes, and reports ahead of the consultation.
An extended, unhurried video conversation with you — and with family, when helpful.
A summary of impressions and options you can bring to your own treating physicians.

Confidential, for patients and families worldwide. No obligation.
