Second medical opinion in Palma

Review your diagnosis with specialists who listen to you, examine you rigorously and accompany you throughout the process.

Why is it important to request a second medical opinion?

Making decisions about your health can generate doubts, especially in the face of complex diagnoses or invasive treatments. At such times, having a second medical opinion not only provides clarity, but also offers emotional security and scientific support. Have you ever wondered if there is an alternative to what has been proposed to you? If the diagnosis received is really the most accurate? Obtaining a new assessment allows you to compare opinions, confirm therapeutic options and explore less aggressive treatments.


At Clinic Santa Maria we understand that health is not something to be decided lightly. That is why we offer you a comprehensive approach, based on medical knowledge, clinical experience and, above all, respect for you. Because we believe that every patient deserves to be listened to, understood and valued from a complete and human medical point of view.

How do we perform the second medical opinion at Clinic Santa Maria?

Our understanding of medicine is based on time, listening and contact. That is why the second medical opinion at Clinic Santa Maria starts by getting to know your case in depth: we review your history, listen to your concerns and explore you comprehensively, from head to toe.
The consultation, which usually lasts between 45 minutes and an hour, is carried out in person or, if you need it, also by video call or telephone. During this time, our team analyzes your reports, examines you in depth and suggests possible therapeutic alternatives based on scientific evidence.
In addition, we provide you with a clear and personalized report, and if you need it, we provide you with electronic prescriptions telematically.

Our multilingual team (Spanish, English and German) guarantees accessible and close care, wherever you are. At Clinic Santa Maria, medicine becomes medicine again: complete, human and personalized.

For whom is a second medical opinion recommended?

This service is especially indicated for patients facing important clinical decisions. If you have received a serious, unclear diagnosis or a treatment that involves risk or uncertainty, a second opinion can change your path.
It is ideal for people with oncological diseases, neurological disorders, complex surgical indications, chronic conditions or prolonged treatments. It is also very useful if you simply need another perspective before starting a therapy or want to explore less invasive options.


We serve both local residents and international patients, with fluent care in Spanish, English and German. No matter your age or condition: if something doesn’t convince you, if you feel you haven’t been listened to enough, or that a more complete picture is missing, we are here to help. At Clinic Santa Maria, we give you the time, knowledge and respect your health deserves.

Frequently asked questions about second medical opinion

What exactly is a second medical opinion?

A second medical opinion is an independent clinical assessment by another specialist who reviews your previous diagnosis or treatment. It is not a matter of mistrust, but of broadening perspectives. Sometimes, a different look -with experience, time and without haste- can reveal new options or confirm that you are on the right path. At Clinic Santa Maria, we analyze your case in depth, listen to you and perform a complete physical examination to give you a well-founded, human and personalized response. Did you know that on many occasions a second opinion changes the course of a treatment? We help you make decisions with more security.

This service is useful in multiple situations: when you are facing a serious diagnosis, such as cancer; if you have been proposed a complex surgery; if you have a chronic disease that is not improving; or if you simply want to confirm that you are following the most appropriate treatment. It is also recommended if you feel that you have not been listened to enough or that all alternatives have not been explored. The human body, like a precise machine, needs complete evaluations. A second opinion can provide that comprehensive look that makes all the difference. At Clinic Santa Maria, we help you find clarity and peace of mind.

Yes, we understand that you can’t always travel, that’s why we also offer a second medical opinion by video call or telephone. In this case, you only need to send us your medical history digitally so that we can study it beforehand. The consultation takes place just as if you were here: we listen to you, we guide you and we solve all your doubts with the same rigor and closeness. In addition, if necessary, we send you electronic prescriptions telematically. Imagine the peace of mind of having a professional medical assessment without leaving home. Distance should never be an obstacle to take care of your health.

For the second opinion to be accurate, we need you to provide us with all available clinical information: previous medical reports, test results, imaging tests or any other relevant documents. If you don’t have everything, don’t worry: we will guide you on what you can get. If you come in person, bring your identification document as well. Did you know that a good medical evaluation begins with a well-told story? At Clinic Santa Maria we don’t just look at papers: we listen to you, we explore you and we give you the time your health deserves.

Not necessarily. A second medical opinion does not automatically replace the treatment you are following, but it can offer you an alternative, reinforce your current decision or give you new perspectives. The final decision is always yours. At Clinic Santa Maria, our goal is not to contradict, but to help you make informed and safe decisions. If you wish, we can collaborate with your regular physician or help you initiate a new treatment plan. Medicine is a journey built on trust, and we are here to walk with you, not replace anyone else.

The price of the second medical opinion depends on the type of consultation (face-to-face or online) and the specialty required. It always includes: previous review of the medical history, complete medical consultation of 45-60 minutes, physical examination (in face-to-face mode), detailed clinical report with our assessment and, if applicable, issuance of electronic prescription. We guarantee a personalized, professional and multilingual treatment. Our commitment is to offer quality medicine, without haste and with respect for your time and decisions. Call us or write us, and we will inform you in detail. Taking care of your health with rigor and humanity is closer than you think.
