“I would rather spend ten minutes showing you your own images than ten seconds telling you not to worry.”
Dr. Fabio Komlos is an interventional radiologist: a doctor who treats disease from the inside, through a pinhole, guided by X-ray, ultrasound and CT. He reviews your scans himself, walks you through them, and performs your procedure.
