A Streamlined Assessment Process
The faster your patient is diagnosed and treated for cancer, the better their chances are of overcoming it. Our program is designed to expedite the entire process while caring for your patient’s every need.

  • If recommended, the staff at our Women’s Imaging Center will schedule a follow-up, real-time diagnostic mammogram within 24-48 hours after the screening mammogram and will deliver the results before the patients leave the imaging center.
  • If a biopsy is recommended, our trained staff will meet with the patient, explain the results, and provide information on biopsy options. Our nurse specialist will schedule a breast biopsy consult within 24 – 48 hours.
  • When a diagnosis is made, our trained, supportive specialist provides a comprehensive new diagnosis and treatment packet.

Coordinated treatments
Our breast program features a multi-disciplinary team of cancer specialist who work together to determine the most efficient and effective treatment for your patient.
