One referral, alternatives across the whole body

From general practice

For GP specialists

Most of Dr Tarr's patients are referred by their GP. Interventional radiology offers image-guided, minimally invasive alternatives to open surgery for a wide range of conditions, often under sedation, frequently as a day case, and with most embolisation procedures carrying no gap on the specialist fee for privately insured patients.

If you're not sure whether a patient is a candidate, refer for an opinion. Dr Tarr will assess suitability and always discuss the surgical and conservative alternatives as well.
