A cardiac diagnosis or recommendation for a procedure can sometimes leave patients and families with questions. Our Second Opinion Service provides an expert review of your medical reports, investigations and proposed treatment plan to help you better understand your condition and make informed decisions about your heart care.
Dr. Shripad V. Khairnar, MD, DM (Cardiology), FACC, provides an independent expert review of cardiac conditions, diagnostic reports and treatment recommendations with a personalized approach to every patient.
A second medical opinion allows another qualified cardiologist to independently review your diagnosis, investigation reports and recommended treatment. It can help you understand your condition, available treatment options and whether further evaluation may be appropriate.
At Shripad Heart Centre, every case is reviewed in the context of the patient's symptoms, medical history, examination findings and available cardiac investigations. The goal is to provide clear, evidence-based guidance without unnecessarily repeating investigations.
