Mammography

As you walk through the Center's own entrance from the main hospital lobby, you are aware at once of an atmosphere of warmth and caring along with the assurance of professional expertise. A nurse will be available to explain the medical aspects of our services and answer any questions you may have.

Your mammogram will be performed by a certified technologist. Then a radiologist, a specialist in breast imaging, will review your mammogram.

If the mammogram indicates any cause for concern, a staff member will discuss the results and make recommendations. After the diagnostic study is concluded, the physicians at the Center will prepare a written report for you and your referring physician the same day.

We offer high quality screening mammograms:

  • Monday through Friday
  • Evenings and Saturdays
