Best Doctors

When it comes to questions about your health, it’s worth getting a second opinion.

Canada’s health experts are among the very best in the world, but Canadians may be surprised to learn that when it comes to reading their pathology reports, it is imperative they seek a second opinion. As a matter of protocol, Best Doctors retests pathology at Centres of Excellence in Canada and the US. If there is a change in pathology, we make sure that all treating physicians involved have access to that new information and to new recommended treatment options based on the change of diagnosis.

Who we are

Imagine you were diagnosed with a serious illness. For a moment, time would stand still as your mind raced through a myriad of questions. What will happen to you now? You wonder if the diagnosis is correct? What kind of treatment will I need?

It’s at this moment when you need information most.

It was these simple, yet complex types of questions that helped lead to the founding of Best Doctors back in the 1980’s, by a group of professors of medicine affiliated with the renowned Harvard University’s School of Medicine.

They observed that many patients were coming to the United States to be treated for complex medical conditions. Believing that a patient shouldn’t have to leave home, their own doctor, or even their own healthcare system to get the best diagnosis and medical treatment, they set out to create a unique database of specialized medical experts and information. Since then, Best Doctors has evolved into a company with a developed set of services that form the cornerstones of our business.

Today, with more than 50,000 specialists in more than 32 countries, Best Doctors is the global leader of medical information.
