An individual consultation with a doctor from a world leading medical centre is prohibitively expensive. Wishing well has created an annual membership plan for members which allows them to obtain the 2nd opinion consultation at a fraction of the cost. It has certain features and conditions. Please review Terms & conditions-MSO.

It has operations in 57countries. And headquartered in the US.
The World Class Doctors -MSO consortium has 25 years of medical second opinion (MSO) experience. It includes more than 20,000 Physicians and Doctors from the world leading medical centres.

The MSO is extremely effective in evaluating diagnosis and a proposed treatment plan that may include surgery. Our experience has shown that

• Nearly 15% of the MSO have resulted in a change in diagnosis.
• Nearly 75% of the MSO have resulted in a change /modification in treatment plans.
• Nearly 22% of MSO have resulted in cancellation of surgeries etc.

Overall, it is very effective in identification and treatment of a medical condition.

It is also cost -effective in terms of avoidance of medical treatment / surgeries.

World Class Doctors partners with world leading medical centers (WLMCs) across the globe in order ensure our members have access to the best medical information available for their specific condition. We foster relationships with medical centers who are renowned for leading the industry in research, cutting edge treatments, and the best overall clinical outcomes.

In the United States and Internationally, World Class Doctors has relationships with WLMCs who are fully accredited by The Joint Commission & The Joint Commission International as well as top the list of US News and World Report for clinical excellence. These comprehensive annual audits inspect areas such as appropriate staffing, clinical excellence, patient outcomes, and financials. In Europe, all WLMCS we work with are fully accredited and certified by the government in each country they reside.

Quality assurance is continuous, hospitals and medical facilities are added and removed from our list on an ongoing basis. World Class Doctors also resources a list of affiliated WLMC’s listed below.
