Obtaining a second opinion
If a lung disease is diagnosed, it is recommended to obtain a second medical opinion. We are happy to assist you in finding appropriate specialists. Of course, we are also available to provide a second opinion ourselves.
Dr. Erich Hecker, MD, FCCP, FEBTS (Chief Physician of the Department of Thoracic Surgery in Herne), Prof. Santiago Ewig, MD (Chief Physician of the Department of Pneumology and Infectious Diseases in Bochum and Herne), and PD Daniel Christoph, MD (Thoracic Oncology) are recognized second-opinion experts for patients with lung diseases.
The health insurance provider AOK NordWest offers this procedure.
