Image-guided options in men's health

For urologists and GPs alike, image-guided, minimally invasive options that complement urological care, including prostate artery embolisation for BPH and varicocele embolisation.

For urologists & GPs

Dr Tarr complements urological care with image-guided, minimally invasive options, prostate artery embolisation for men who wish to avoid surgery or are not ideal surgical candidates, and varicocele embolisation through a pinhole.

Referrals for assessment are welcome from GPs and urologists alike. You do not need to be a specialist to refer. Dr Tarr will confirm suitability, keep you informed, and is glad to co-manage with a urology service where one is involved.
