Breast care services we offer

We offer a wide range of services dedicated to helping patients maintain their breast health, such as:

• Mammography, including 3D mammography
• Fine needle biopsy
• Sentinel lymph node biopsy
• Breast surgery, including lumpectomy to remove cancer and breast augmentation

Breast cancer screening

Mammogram screenings use low-dose X-ray imaging technology to examine breast tissue. We offer access to digital mammography, which provides increased image clarity and better visibility. This means that doctors can provide a faster and more accurate diagnosis, which results in a more convenient experience for our patients.

Breast self-exam

We also encourage women to perform breast self-exams at home. This can help women get familiar with the look and feel of their own breasts so they become aware if and when any changes occur.

Breast cancer surgery

Surgery may be needed to surgically remove cancerous breast tissue. If breast cancer surgery is necessary, we offer a special approach to breast surgery in which the scar/incision is hidden. This technique involves your surgeon creating an incision in a hard-to-see location, so the scar isn't easily visible after the incision heals.

Breast conditions we diagnose and treat

Some of the conditions we treat include:

• Breast cancer
• Fibrocystic disease
• Mastalgia (breast pain)

Regardless of your diagnosis, we provide the care and resources you need on your path to recovery. If a breast cancer diagnosis is confirmed, we offer access to comprehensive breast cancer care through our family of hospitals in the Central Texas area.
