Physician Insight & Safety Protocols

“While laboratory testing is a powerful objective tool, it must be integrated with a full clinical history and physical examination. As a DHA‑licensed clinician, I remind you that a single abnormal finding does not constitute a diagnosis, and normal results do not entirely rule out exposure. Always share your laboratory report with your treating physician for personalised risk assessment.”

– Mr. Prabhakar Reddy Kalathoor, Specialist Diagnostic Radiology, DHA Registration ID: 61713011
