Second opinions

We welcome patients and families seeking a second opinion about the care of their thyroid nodule or thyroid cancer.

The Boston Children’s Hospital Thyroid Center offers two options for requesting a second opinion:

  • visit our experts in person
  • get an online second opinion

Please visit our Second Opinion Program page to learn more about the best option for you and your child.

If you are seeking a second opinion, we request that you provide the following information:

  • notes, letters, and reports from any previous providers who have evaluated the thyroid nodule/cancer (including clinic notes and operative reports)
  • laboratory test results
  • reports and digital copies of images (on CD or DVD) from any imaging procedures (including ultrasounds, CT scans, MRI scans, PET, or other nuclear medicine scans)
  • pathology reports from any biopsies or surgeries
  • original pathology (or cytology) slides from any biopsies or surgeries

Providing as much of this information as possible will allow us to perform a comprehensive review of all available information to provide the best possible diagnosis and treatment recommendations for your child.
