Today’s guest is Maja Zecevic, founder of Opionato. We discuss everything you need to know about obtaining a second opinion regarding your fertility treatment plan.
- Before we get into today’s topic, I’d love to hear your personal infertility story.
- Let’s do a deep dive into the reasons why listeners should seek out a second opinion regarding their fertility.
- Non-life threatening situations where customers are left to make their own choices
- Mostly self-paid, so providers have no incentive to save on cost
- High failure rate, and the quickest approach might not be the best
- Care is complicated when he has the medical problem but she is the patient
- Care is multidisciplinary but not all clinics have the right experts on staff
- Patients do not choose clinics rationally
- Differing technologies and protocols
- Other than what you’ve already discussed, are there certain signs it’s time for a second opinion?
- How can a patient prepare to receive a second opinion? What information and paperwork do they need to gather from their current clinic?
- What should a patient expect from a second opinion?
- What tips do you have for choosing a clinic to provide a second opinion?
- I’d like to hear about Opionato. Why did you start it, and what services do you offer?

- Is there anything else you’d like to add?
