Physician specialist second opinions from the comfort of your home.

Experts suggest getting a second opinion before non-emergency surgeries and long-term treatment plans. Whether you are confronting a complex health situation or you want input from a premier orthopaedic specialist about your diagnosis or treatment plan, our physicians can offer peace of mind that you or your family member is receiving appropriate medical care.

Through PinnacleCare VirtualConnect, you can obtain second opinions from California Pacific Orthopaedics specialists without having to leave home.

PinnacleCare will collect all of the records and medical information pertinent to your diagnosis and work with California Pacific Orthopaedics to identify an appropriate specialist for your case. The service is convenient, completely confidential, and easy to get started.
