Seeking an American Medical Second Opinion from Japan? Direct, Affordable Access with MyUSADr

In Japan, a "Second Opinion" (セカンドオピニオン) is a well-respected part of the medical journey, especially when facing a serious diagnosis like cancer or heart disease. However, many Japanese patients feel hesitant to ask their primary doctor for a referral, or they find that top Japanese university hospitals have long waiting lists.

When local options feel limited, many look toward the United States—the world leader in medical research. But the "Big Three" US hospitals often charge over $4,000 for a remote consultation.

MyUSADr. is the solution. We offer direct access to American Board-Certified Specialists for a transparent, flat fee of $349.

Why MyUSADr. is the Smarter Choice for Japanese Patients

While the Mayo Clinic and Johns Hopkins are prestigious, they operate with heavy administrative costs. MyUSADr. offers the same level of American expertise with more agility:

  • Fixed, Transparent Pricing: No hidden "international coordination fees." At MyUSADr., a professional second opinion is $349. This is often more affordable than private second opinions at major Tokyo hospitals.
  • Fast & Respectful: We know that in Japan, "Omotenashi" (service) matters. Our Telehealth platform is designed for a smooth, rapid experience, often delivering results in days rather than the weeks required by larger institutions.
  • Expert Objectivity: You receive a fresh perspective from a US-based specialist who can review your diagnosis against the latest global clinical guidelines.
  • Zero Travel Stress: Skip the flights to America. Connect from Tokyo, Osaka, or anywhere in Japan via our secure virtual platform.

The Value of a Second Look

Research shows that a second opinion can lead to a change in diagnosis or treatment plan for up to 88% of patients. In a culture that values precision, getting that extra layer of certainty from the US is an invaluable investment in your health.
