Our History
When Dr. Freilich first began practicing as a hepatologist in the 1990s, he started treating Hepatitis C patients. However, he often identified that they were still experiencing liver damage.
Driven by a desire to provide alternative options to his patients provide them with opportunities that they otherwise couldn’t get anywhere else, Dr. Freilich founded KCRI to help explore new and emerging treatments and improve the breadth of his patients’ options.

Why Fibroscan?
Fibroscan is a non-invasive alternative to a liver biopsy. It is shorter and more cost-effective procedure for the staging of liver health. It is not a direct substitute for other imaging procedures, as it provides different information than an MRI or Ultrasound.
