You can ask about another assessment and the records to take with you.

The idea

State your request, then ask about a referral and copies of test results.

Examples

  • Quisiera solicitar una segunda opinión sobre mi diagnóstico.I would like to request a second opinion on my diagnosis.

  • ¿Necesito una derivación para esa consulta?Do I need a referral for that appointment?
  • Me gustaría llevar una copia de los resultados.I would like to bring a copy of the results.
  • ¿Cómo puedo obtener mi historial médico?How can I obtain my medical records?
  • ¿Debo pedir también las imágenes de las pruebas?Should I also request the images from the tests?

Watch out

A second opinion is an assessment; a referral is the route to an appointment, not the assessment itself.
