Second Opinion Physician / WalshDoc provides telemedicine-based, second-opinion style assessment services. These services may include health questionnaires, review of symptoms and history, review of laboratory information, biochemical and nutritional interpretation, educational discussion, report preparation, and related next-step recommendations.
Second Opinion Physician / WalshDoc does not replace your primary care provider. You should maintain an ongoing relationship with a primary care physician and appropriate specialists for routine care, urgent care, medication management, physical examinations, diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of medical conditions.
This service is not designed for urgent symptoms, crisis situations, suicidal intent, severe psychiatric instability, chest pain, stroke symptoms, severe allergic reactions, severe infection, or any other emergency. If urgent or emergency symptoms occur, seek emergency care immediately.
Second Opinion Physician / WalshDoc generally does not prescribe or manage medications and does not replace the clinician who manages your medications. Medication questions, medication changes, medication side effects, and medication emergencies should be handled with your prescribing clinician, primary care provider, specialist, urgent care, or emergency services as appropriate.
Lab testing may be recommended or reviewed as part of the assessment process. Lab interpretation is provided in the context of the information submitted and is not a substitute for full in-person evaluation when needed. Abnormal or urgent lab findings should be reviewed with your primary care provider or appropriate specialist.
Recommendations may include nutritional, supplement, dietary, lifestyle, or retesting suggestions. Supplement recommendations, if provided, should be considered in the context of your medical history, medications, allergies, pregnancy status, age, weight, sensitivity/reactivity, and current clinician guidance.
Second Opinion Physician / WalshDoc may recommend nutritional supplements, including products available through BiotypeNutrients.com. BiotypeNutrients.com is owned by or affiliated with Second Opinion Physician, and Second Opinion Physician may receive profit from purchases made through that site.
You are not required to purchase supplements from BiotypeNutrients.com. You may purchase comparable products from another source if you prefer. Your access to Second Opinion Physician / WalshDoc services is not conditioned on purchasing supplements from BiotypeNutrients.com.
Supplement recommendations are provided for clinical and educational purposes and should be considered in the context of your medical history, medications, allergies, pregnancy status, age, weight, sensitivity/reactivity, and current clinician guidance.
Second Opinion Physician / WalshDoc services are private-pay services unless otherwise stated. We do not bill insurance for these services. You are responsible for any applicable fees for assessments, reports, consultations, lab ordering, lab interpretation, supplement strategy, follow-up reports, or physician review.
Telemedicine has limitations. Information may be incomplete, technology may fail, and remote assessment cannot replace a physical examination or emergency evaluation. You are responsible for providing accurate information and for seeking in-person care when needed.
You agree to provide accurate and complete information, including current medications, supplements, allergies, pregnancy status when applicable, medical conditions, relevant labs, and the name of your primary care provider or treating clinician when requested. You remain responsible for follow-up with your primary care provider and specialists.
