When a diagnosis is life-changing, we bring the world’s gold-standard medical expertise to anyone, anywhere in the world.
WorldCare pioneered multidisciplinary medical second opinions (MSO) 30 years ago. No other MSO provides more clinical rigor or personal support for people with serious and complex conditions.
WorldCare provides a level of institutional expertise others don't; we contract directly with top-ranked hospitals and health systems rather than individual physicians. Our WorldCare Consortium of the top teaching and research hospitals provides the gold standard of multidisciplinary specialist collaboration.

“Such a relief to have all these details about my test results and medical notes that included information that had never been shared with me. Based on the recommendation in the MSO, my diagnosis and treatment may take a different course…. [The] MSO report has the potential to improve my outcome and possibly save my life.”
