We look at breast health differently, considering not only your clinical needs but also your emotional ones.
It’s all about personalized care to keep you and your family informed. We’ll help you know your risk and give you better options to find breast cancer early, using innovative technology and approaches. Three-dimensional mammography means better detection and fewer callbacks because we commit to same-day screening results whenever possible. You’ll have access to the renowned Bennett Cancer Center for exceptional treatment. Because women who are considered high-risk have an increased risk for developing other cancers—particularly ovarian cancer—gynecologic oncologists are part of our multidisciplinary team approach. We are a Breast Imaging Center of Excellence, designated by the American College of Radiology, and we offer:
- Real-time reading of screening or diagnostic mammography during normal business hours
- State-of-the-art 3D mammography, which allows us to review breast tissue in millimeter slices to detect breast cancer at its earliest stages and eliminate false positives
- A breast-imaging nurse navigator who answers questions, stays in touch throughout your treatment, and connects you with any needed support services
- Breast-conserving surgery whenever possible, such as lumpectomy or partial mastectomy
- Narcotic-sparing pain blocks that expedite recovery after surgery
- Reduced wait time for biopsy
