A medical institution’s written opinion is prepared by your doctor based on the results of various examinations after you visit the medical institution. It may be used for government administrative services.
An interview report in this "MA Second Opinion Online Interview Service" is different from a medical institution’s written opinion and is a summary of the contents of the online interview.

The first difference is MA Online Second Opinion Interview Service allows you to obtain a second opinion through an online interview with a Doctor AT HOME.
The second big difference in that you can CHOOSE YOU OWN DOCTOR.
Furthermore, in an age when more than 60% (nearly 70%) of medical institutions are forced to operate at a loss, partially because of the Corona disaster, physicians in hospital are increasingly being asked to provide medical care that is more focused on administration than medical treatment according to the policies of hospital management. Since our service is not provided by a medical institution, doctors can fully demonstrate their true potential as medical professionals without feeling the burden of such administration. We hope that this will lead to true satisfaction and peace of mind for our customers.
