Clinical interventional radiology, focused on you, from your first consultation, through your treatment, to follow-up.
Interventional radiology treats many conditions through a pinhole instead of open surgery, usually under sedation, often as a day case, and most embolisations carry no gap on the specialist fee for privately insured patients. Dr Tarr will explain your condition, all of your options (including surgical and conservative ones), and what to expect, so you can make the decision that is right for you.
An unhurried appointment to understand your condition, review your imaging, and talk through every option, with time for your questions.
