I added colleenyoung into this post as I had seen her post in the past on second opinions at Mayo. She is one of the mentors on the forum. Or perhaps your general practitioner can recommend a radiologist or other specialist for a second opinion. Are you near a teaching hospital?

There are some well respected medical teaching facilities in my local area. I'm with a HMO and my current GP is not very accommodating so I mostly use the mobile office for walk-in service. It comes to town twice a month. Never has the same doctor. It has been out for upgrades and doesn't get back on the road for another month or two.

I have the MRI DICOM files and can email the whole series anywhere in the world. I'm pretty sure there is no reason to actually be seen in person.

There are AI MRI readers that are approved by the FDA, but mostly for brain issues. It will probably be a long time before they are available for use by the general public.

Thank you for tagging me @1oldsoul.

@dcuste, if you would like to get a second opinion from Mayo Clinic specialists, you can submit a request here: http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63
