Breast Exams
Breast exams are an important aspect of women’s health care and breast
cancer prevention. You should perform self-breast exams in front of the
mirror every month so that you can grow familiar with how your breasts
look and feel. This way, if anything should change, you will be able to
discuss it with your doctor promptly.
We provide multiple services to ensure continued breast health. Our exams
test for conditions such as breast cancer, mastitis, and fibroadenoma.
These services include:
Clinical breast exams
Digital mammographies
Breast ultrasounds
Biopsies
Lumpectomies
It is recommended that women receive 1 mammogram a year from age 40 and
up. Women over the age of 55 who have normal risk factors can reduce screenings
to once every 2 years.
Minimally Invasive Gynecology Surgery
Minimally invasive procedures require less recovery time than traditional
surgeries and patients generally experience less post-operation pain.
