It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Make it stand out.

Purpose

Encourage clarity and trust—not competition. We’re here to offer perspective, not pressure.

Approach

Conservative-first care when safe, with clear explanations of when intervention or surgery may help.

Access

We accept out-of-network and cash-pay for second-opinion visits. We’ll provide superbills upon request.

How a second opinion works

1

Share your story & records

We review your symptoms, prior notes, and—once live—your secure imaging upload (MRI/CT and radiology reports). If your portal isn’t ready, bring images on a disc or share access credentials from your imaging center.

2

Meet with Dr. Winograd

We’ll discuss findings in clear language, outline conservative options first, and explain potential procedures only if appropriate.

3

Leave with a plan

You’ll receive a recommendation you can use with us or your current team—because the right next step should feel confident and collaborative.

What to bring

Photo ID and insurance card (if applicable)

Recent MRI/CT scans + radiology reports (disc, portal link, or secure upload once live)

Prior clinic notes, surgical reports, and medication list

Written questions or goals for the visit

Note: Second-opinion visits are typically consultation-only; no physician–patient relationship is established until you consent to ongoing care.

Frequently asked questions

Do you accept insurance for second opinions?
We accept out-of-network and cash-pay for these consultations. Many patients use an itemized receipt (superbill) to seek reimbursement from their insurer.
Can I keep my current neurosurgeon and still get a second opinion?
Absolutely. Second opinions support informed decision-making. We’ll happily coordinate with your existing care team upon request.
Will you review my MRI/CT before the visit?
We review imaging and reports in conjunction with your history. When the secure portal is live, you’ll upload studies ahead of time; otherwise, bring a disc or share portal access details.
What if I’m considering surgery?
We emphasize conservative options first where safe. If surgery could help, we’ll explain risks, benefits, and alternatives in plain language and provide written next steps.
Is this urgent care?
No. Second opinions are scheduled consultations. If you’re experiencing red-flag symptoms like severe or rapidly worsening weakness, loss of bowel/bladder control, or sudden severe headache, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.
