I can’t thank ConnectCare3 enough for providing options for seeking a second opinion so that I could find a treatment option that was best for me.
Get it Right
In today’s society, it is considered a good thing to be a risk taker. But when it comes to your health and the health of your loved ones, you only get one chance to get it right. A delayed or incorrect choice could be devastating physically, emotionally and financially. Unfortunately, statistics show that mistakes are more frequent than anyone realizes. Becoming educated about your diagnosis and a second opinion can reduce the risk of unnecessary or inappropriate treatments, improve your quality of life and reduce health care related expenses.
Statistics:
Are you willing to risk your health on statistics like these? Expert physicians have found that:
- As many as 1 in 5 patients may be misdiagnosed
- As many as 60% of patients may be getting the wrong treatment
- Nearly 70% of patients do not understand their diagnosis
- Up to 30% of every dollar spent on healthcare in America is being wasted on misdiagnosis and misguided care.
ConnectCare3 has already helped hundreds of patients to avoid unnecessary and inappropriate care. Two examples of the people we have helped are:
- A patient with thyroid cancer avoided unnecessary radiation treatment that would have isolated her from her family and friends for weeks and caused her diminished quality of life. Click Here for the full story!
- A patient with prostate cancer avoided an unnecessary surgery that was scheduled for the same day his wife called us. Thus he eliminated huge expenses and potential lifelong complications from the risks of surgery.

Value of a Second Opinion:
If there was a problem with the motor in your high performance European sports car, would you take your car to just any mechanic to get it fixed? Of course not! You would do research on mechanics to find one that specializes in high performance vehicles, preferably with expertise in fixing motors.
When it comes to your health, ConnectCare3 knows that the same holds true. There is value in going to a specialist with expertise in treating a specific medical condition whether it is cancer, heart disease or any number of complex illnesses. ConnectCare3 identifies the expert physicians and facilities that specialize in your illness so that you can have the assurance that you are getting the best available care.
