Get Second Opinion from Dr. Soumitra Sinha Roy
Share your reports and scans. Receive his written opinion by email.
Before undergoing invasive lung surgery, initiating complex antifibrotic regimes, or accepting an uncertain prognosis, get an authoritative second review from an international fellowship-trained pulmonologist.
Who This Second Opinion Is For
Specialized pulmonary second opinions provide clarity in ambiguous, high-stakes respiratory diagnoses.
Advised Lung Surgery
You have been recommended an open lung resection or lobectomy for a suspicious mass or nodule, but want to verify whether minimally invasive EBUS bronchoscopy or monitoring can avoid surgery.
A Nodule or Mass on Chest CT
An incidental solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN) or lung lesion was flagged on an HRCT chest scan, and you need expert characterization before undergoing an invasive biopsy.
TB Treatment Without Improvement
You have taken Anti-Tubercular Therapy (ATT) for months without resolution of fever, persistent cough, or weight loss, raising concerns of drug resistance or alternative diagnosis.
ILD or Pulmonary Fibrosis Diagnosis
Diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF), hypersensitivity pneumonitis, or sarcoidosis, and seeking confirmation on antifibrotic therapy, cryobiopsy, or prognosis.
Told Transplant Isn't Possible
End-stage respiratory disease where local options seem exhausted. Benefit from Dr. Roy’s fellowship training in adult lung transplantation from the University of Toronto.
Conflicting Advice from Two Doctors
Two physicians have provided differing treatment strategies, and you need an authoritative review by an international MRCP-PACES examiner and senior pulmonologist.

Dr. Roy reviews them personally

Receive his written opinion by email
Within 2–3 working days, a comprehensive clinical evaluation arrives directly in your inbox detailing diagnosis concordance, recommended pathways, and next steps.
What You’ll Receive in Your Written Opinion
A structured, transparent clinical document addressing the critical questions you and your family are facing.
Diagnostic Concordance
A meticulous review of your radiological films, histology, and clinical story to determine whether the existing diagnosis is robust or if critical diagnostic differentials have been overlooked.
Actionable Next Steps
Clear clinical insights on evidence-based medication adjustments, alternative therapeutic protocols, and whether immediate interventional steps (like EBUS-TBNA or stenting) are indicated.
Consultation & Testing Guidance
Unbiased guidance on whether specific tests (e.g. repeat targeted thin-slice CT, DLCO, rigid bronchoscopy) are necessary, or if an in-person visit to Hyderabad, Chennai, or West Bengal clinics is recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions About Second Opinions
Why is this written second opinion service offered?
Navigating serious respiratory diagnoses, indeterminate lung nodules, and surgical recommendations causes immense emotional and practical stress for families. Dr. Soumitra Sinha Roy provides written email second opinions to help patients make informed, evidence-based choices without rushing into avoidable invasive procedures.
What scans and files should I upload?
Please upload your High-Resolution Chest CT (HRCT) reports, X-rays, bronchoscopy findings, biopsy/histopathology slides reports, and recent hospital discharge summaries. If you have DICOM image folders, you can compress them into a .ZIP archive or upload key slice photos and official radiologist reports.
Can Dr. Roy prescribe new medicines in this email opinion?
No. In accordance with National Medical Commission (NMC) telemedicine ethics regulations, a written second opinion based solely on uploaded files is an advisory review. New prescription medicines cannot be prescribed without a formal synchronous doctor-patient consultation.
What if my condition is worsening rapidly?
