Experts in Second Opinion Heart Care

If you’ve been diagnosed with a heart problem, the more you know about your diagnosis and treatment alternatives, the more confident and comfortable you can be that the choices being made are the right ones for you — especially when it comes to lifesaving heart care.

Stony Brook’s Heart Care Second Opinion Program was created to assist you in being fully informed about your diagnosis, prognosis and available treatment options.

If your healthcare provider suggests a non-emergency cardiovascular surgery or procedure, you may benefit from an expert second opinion. 

The most common reasons to seek a cardiac second opinion:

  • A diagnosis that is not clear
  • You've been told you are not treatable
  • You have multiple medical problems
  • You're not responding to treatment as expected 
  • You have a serious or life-threatening condition
  • Your health plan requires a second opinion

What Some Thought Couldn't Be Possible:

Anthony Martinez is a can-do guy, an ex-Marine who raised a family and started his own successful businesses. But when multiple health conditions meant he was not eligible for catheterization to clear his blocked coronary arteries, the situation didn’t look good.
