How to obtain a second opinion

Referrals for Neuro-Oncology consultations or 'second opinions' can be arranged through our clinical coordinator, Betsey D'Andrea. Please call (203) 737 1671. 'Second opinion' requests without patient referral are also welcome. Please mail a brief case summary, pertinent imaging studies and histopathology slides (if available) to:

Joachim Baehring, MD

333 Cedar Street, TMP410
New Haven, CT 06520-8082

Cases are presented on Fridays at our weekly Tumor Board. This meeting is attended by at least one representative of all subspecialties of the Yale Brain Tumor Center. For the quickest turn-around, materials should be received by us no later than Wednesday. Results are available Friday afternoon after 3 pm. Please provide us with a phone number so that we can contact you. A written report is sent within one week of the conference. Please note that this service is currently only available for physicians. For review of pathology slides there is a charge of US $ 200. Otherwise this consultation service is free of charge.
