Second Opinion
Swiss Board-Certified. Subspecialty-Trained. 20+ Years of Diagnostic Experience.
Alpine Diagnostics is a family-owned, independent radiology practice based in Switzerland. We are not an imaging center and have no ties to surgical teams. Our only job is to tell you exactly what your images show, with precision, honesty, and the clinical depth that comes from two decades of reading thousands of scans across every major subspecialty.
- Independent — no ties to surgeons or imaging centers.
- Subspecialty-matched — your scan type determines your radiologist.
- Family-owned Swiss practice — not a faceless platform.
Subspecialty Expertise
Every scan is matched to a radiologist who specializes in that exact body region — neuro, MSK, breast, oncology, or abdominal imaging. No generalist re-reads.
Expert-Driven Precision
Our subspecialist radiologists apply years of focused experience to every scan. Deep expertise, not shortcuts, is what drives diagnostic accuracy.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you have any further questions please contact us. →
Who exactly reviews my scan?+
Every scan is reviewed by a Swiss board-certified subspecialty radiologist — not a generalist, not an AI, and not a technician. Your scan type determines which specialist is assigned: knee MRIs go to a musculoskeletal expert, mammograms to a breast imaging specialist, brain MRIs to a neuroradiologist. Our Medical Director, Dr. med. Oxana Smagulova, oversees quality across all cases.
Are you truly independent?+
Yes. Alpine Diagnostics is a standalone diagnostic practice. We are not affiliated with any imaging center, hospital, or surgical team. We do not perform imaging, and we do not recommend treatment. Our radiologists have no financial incentive other than providing an honest, accurate interpretation.
How is my medical data protected?+
All data is encrypted end-to-end and stored on Swiss servers under the FADP (Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection), one of the strictest privacy frameworks in the world.
Why should I trust a remote second opinion over an in-person consultation?+
Radiology is inherently a remote discipline — your radiologist already reads your scan on a screen, not by examining you in person. What matters is the specialist's expertise and the quality of the analysis, not physical proximity. Alpine's subspecialty matching means your scan is reviewed by an expert who focuses exclusively on that imaging type.
How much does a second opinion cost?+
Pricing starts at CHF 120 for an Essential single-radiologist review. A Conscientious consensus reading by two radiologists costs CHF 192. Priority 24-hour delivery adds CHF 60.
How long does a second opinion take?+
Average turnaround is 36 hours. Standard delivery is 72 hours, with a Priority option for 24-hour delivery. If the 24-hour deadline is missed, the priority fee is refunded.
Do I need a doctor's referral?+
No. Patients can request a second opinion directly through our website — no referral required. Upload your DICOM files through our encrypted portal and receive your report by email.
No delays. No compromises. Just secure, seamless transfer.
