Breast health
Timely test results for peace of mind
We understand the apprehension and anxiety that can build when waiting for imaging or pathology results. Our team is committed to providing your results in 24 hours. No other facility in the area offers this kind of peace of mind.
Should your mammogram or exam reveal a change, we will not leave you waiting. We offer you quick access to further testing, including biopsy, with next-day results for most people. If you detect a change that concerns you or your annual breast exam reveals a change, you’ll receive the same prompt attention.

Say Know to Breast Cancer™
Knowledge is power. Understanding your breast cancer risk during each stage of your life can help you maintain optimal breast health. It only takes a few minutes to empower yourself and protect your future health.
Breast health tests and procedures
If you or your provider notices changes in your breasts, our skilled team can determine the reason. We offer the latest mammogram technology, including 3D mammography. You also have access to breast ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
If your provider recommends a biopsy, we offer minimally invasive, image-guided core biopsies using stereotactic mammography, sonography and MRI. This technology makes the process faster and more accurate.
