Get the Second Opinion You Need.
Dr. Ramesh Babu’s Second Opinion service lets you securely submit your medical records and imaging (MRI/CT reports, notes, test results, and prior treatment history). Dr. Babu will review what you provide and share a clear written opinion that helps you understand:
What your diagnosis means (in plain English)
Whether the current plan makes sense based on the information available
What options are commonly considered next (including questions to ask your current care team)
What additional information might be helpful to confirm the best path forward
This service is especially helpful for people navigating complex neurosurgical issues, including trigeminal neuralgia, facial pain, skull base tumors, brain tumors, and other cranial nerve or brain/spine conditions.
A second opinion is a recognized patient right and a common step when making major medical decisions.
