Many patients feel they have run into a wall with no other options in their community.  They are willing to travel but don't have the ability to make numerous trips.  In such cases we can review a summary of the history and key records in order to determine what, if any additional testing might be needed.  Things you should do:

• Prepare a succinct chronology of your problem
• Obtain and organize relevant test results.  For radiology tests you should obtain the actual images on a CD-ROM or flash drive.
• Obtain copies of the dictated reports of any operations and the associated pathology reports.
• For prostate cancer patients seeking a second opinion please obtain the actual pathology slides.
