Dr.
Pashman is licensed in the state of California, and
can perform second surgical opinions for people
residing in California, or outside of the United States.
For patients (from anywhere outside of Los Angeles) who are traveling
to consult with Dr. Pashman, we ask to review the films before you
incur the expense to travel.
For patients seeking a 2nd surgical opinion, Dr.
Pashman will review films and consult with your Primary
Care Physician and give his recommendation. If
you would like to pursue this option, you can include
a note from your physician (on his/her letterhead) with
your films, or have them fax it to us at 310-423-9963.
If you would like Dr. Pashman to review your surgical case, please
follow these steps:
If a physician has told you that
you require surgery, and you feel as though you would
like a second opinion, this service is for you. A second
opinion and film review are NOT a substitute for a
physical exam.
Request that your imaging facility
provide you with copies of your x-rays, MRIs, CT scans,
and any other diagnostic tests performed. Please send
the films and the reports. We can accept CDs or films.
Send your films and medical history
via a traceable means such as Federal Express or UPS
to:
Robert Pashman, MD
444 S San Vicente Blvd, Suite 800
Los Angeles, CA 90048
ATTN: JENNI MURPHY
Please call 310-423-9986 with the
date your films were sent.
Once we have received your films,
we will call you to confirm receipt.
The charge for a 2nd opinion is $125, payable
by check or credit card.
For patients who live outside
of California: If you are planning to travel
to Los Angeles to consult with Dr. Pashman, we would
appreciate the opportunity to review your films before
you travel,
If you
have any questions regarding this process, please call
310-423-9986.
