Why Our Surgeons Believe Every
Patient Deserves a Second Opinion
Because making the right decision starts with understanding all your options.
Patients deserve an opportunity for a second opinion because surgeons differ in training, experience, and how aggressively or conservatively they approach treatment. Often there is more than one reasonable option, and the best choice depends on both the medical details and patients' goals. I believe in clearly explaining those options and helping patients choose a thoughtful evidence-based plan tailored to them.
Joseph A. Rosenbaum, MD
Second opinions ensure informed decisions, personalized care, and the best possible outcome for each patient. XPRT2ND provides a never-before-seen platform that empowers patients to seek the care they deserve.
David Luo, MD
I believe patients make better decisions when they truly understand their options. As a board-certified, fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeon with experience caring for professional athletes, I take the time to explain those choices in a way that’s straightforward and personalized. My goal is for patients to feel confident and comfortable with their decisions, so they can move forward with clarity and peace of mind.

What if my X-rays or MRI are on a CD?
Option 1: Ask the imaging center or doctor’s office
Call the place where you had your X-rays, MRI, or CT scan and ask if they can send the images to you electronically via email. Then download them to your computer.
Option 2: Use a computer with a CD drive
If you or someone you trust has a computer with a CD/DVD slot:
1. Insert the CD into the computer
2. Open the CD and copy all files to the computer
3. Upload those files here to your case
Option 3: Ask a family member or friend for help
If you don’t have a computer with a CD drive, a family member, friend, or caregiver can often help copy the files and upload them for you.
Option 4: Take a clear photo at the doctor’s office
If you are at the doctor’s office and your X-rays or MRI are on their computer, you can take a clear photo of the screen with your phone.
Is my information secure?
Yes. Your records are shared through a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform. Your information stays private and under your control.
Clarity changes everything.
