They need to be referred by a doctor in my country.They are nice to the GP.And the patients of the GP's.Also be skilled.
In the case of a 2nd opinion, a consultant is a physician, either in a separate field or the same field.Other physicians in that area know the person who is a practicing physician.Doctors have answering service coverage and offices.It's easy to get patients.
