Amputation Second Opinion in Mumbai
An amputation has been recommended for someone in your family. Before deciding, you want another specialist to review the recommendation and explain the options in their case.
Before you bring the patient, we help you bring the case to the doctor of your choice.
Start with what matters
What do you want another doctor to review?
Amputation means removing a limb or part of one. The reason for the recommendation, the proposed level and the patient’s overall condition matter to the review. A second opinion may confirm the original recommendation or suggest a different approach; it cannot promise that an amputation can be avoided.
Your case may centre on
- The reason given for amputation and the exact part of the limb involved
- Which alternatives have already been discussed or attempted
- The timing advised by the treating team and questions about rehabilitation
Prepared before the visit
Questions for your chosen specialist
Pick the questions that matter to your family. We take them in your own words and record the answers shared during the consultation.
- What findings support the recommendation for amputation in this case?
- Are there alternatives worth considering, and what are their risks and limitations for this patient?
- Why has this level of amputation been proposed?
- How urgent is the decision, and is there time for another review without delaying necessary care?
- Would an examination or any further information be needed before you can advise?
- What should we understand about healing, mobility, rehabilitation and follow-up?
One organised case
Records to bring together
We arrange the history and reports by date, note gaps and conflicting details, and separate the family’s account from information documented by the treating team.
Share the records you already have. This is a preparation checklist, not a request to get new tests.
- The written diagnosis and amputation recommendation, including the proposed level and reason
- Existing scans and reports relevant to the recommendation, including blood-flow assessments if already performed
- Previous operation notes, wound-treatment records and discharge summaries
- Available infection-related reports and current prescriptions
- A dated account of what has changed, treatment already tried and the family’s questions

Our notes identify the questions raised, the advice recorded and any follow-up instructions shared. They are labelled as Redwood’s account of the discussion, not a new medical opinion.

Before you enquire
Your questions, answered
Can I get a second opinion before an amputation without bringing the patient to Mumbai?
We can organise the case remotely and take existing records to your chosen specialist. The doctor decides whether the available records are enough or whether the patient needs an examination. Ask the treating team about urgency before planning the review.
Does an amputation second opinion always mean consulting an orthopaedic surgeon?
No. The relevant speciality depends on the underlying condition and recommendation. Share the specialist you have chosen and the existing referral. Redwood does not choose or rank doctors.
Will another opinion help us avoid amputation?
No outcome can be promised. The purpose is to have your chosen specialist review the recommendation and answer your questions, including whether the existing plan remains appropriate.
Do I choose the doctor?
Yes. You choose the doctor you want to consult. Redwood does not recommend, rank or select doctors. You can contact us to understand the service before you have all your documents ready.
What if the doctor needs to examine the patient?
The doctor decides whether records are sufficient or an examination is needed. We share that advice so you can discuss the next arrangements with your family and treating team.
How soon can the consultation happen?
We respond to enquiries within 12 hours. This is our response commitment, not a promise of an appointment or medical opinion within 12 hours. Appointment timing depends on the chosen doctor’s schedule.
Who receives the records and consultation notes?
We prepare the case with the patient or authorised family contact and share updates with approved contacts. Our privacy notice explains how we handle personal information.
