Second Opinion - A Medical Breakthrough in Television!

Ever wonder what doctors whisper about when you're not in the room? Find out each week on Second Opinion.

You won't hear much whispering on this show, though! Candid, honest and often heated, Second Opinion lets you discover, first hand, how doctors navigate their way through tough medical decisions. Hosted by nationally acclaimed Dr. Peter Salgo, Second Opinion brings together real doctors, tackling real-life medical cases in a way you've have never seen before.

The goal of the series is to improve doctor/patient communication and empower viewers to take charge of their own healthcare, and in turn, help them navigate the medical system for better health outcomes. Second Opinion focuses on health literacy in a way that is relevant and accessible to both viewers and to physicians, in a format that engages and entertains viewers.

Produced by WXXI Public Broadcasting in Rochester, New York, West 175 Productions in Seattle, Washington and University of Rochester Medical Center in Rochester, New York, the Second Opinion production team work extensively with a team of Medical Advisors to make sure you're getting solid medical information, making you a better consumer of your own healthcare!

Major funding for Second Opinion is provided by the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association, an association of independent, locally owned and community-based Blue Cross/Blue Shield plans, committed to better knowledge for healthier lives.
