As you know, early detection is the key to successful cancer
treatment. At the Highland Breast Imaging Center, you can be assured
of a thorough, highly accurate mammogram from experienced professionals
who focus exclusively on breast care.
You’re busy–you don’t have time to spend hours
waiting to be screened or to get results. We make it easier with:
-
An efficient process, done at your convenience
-
Two scheduling options for routine appointments–results while you wait or have your results mailed for a shorter appointment time
- Saturday morning appointments available the second Saturday of every month
-
No referrals necessary for screening mammograms–just
call us for an appointment
-
Double reads–two radiologists review your images to
ensure accuracy
- If you need a biopsy, one can often be done at the time of
your visit
-
Mammogram and biopsy results sent to your primary care provider
or gynecologist (in fact, we're in constant communication with
your doctor about your biopsy)
-
Two convienient locations–500 Red Creek Drive (near Marketplace Mall) or 1000 South Avenue (inside Highland Hospital)
-
Convenient free parking–just a few steps away from the lobby
of Highland Hospital
-
A warm, relaxed, private setting–no crowded waiting
rooms
- Friendly, supportive professionals who will put you at ease
- The peace-of-mind of knowing that dedicated
breast care centers are your best opportunity for accurate readings–which
can translate into fewer unneeded biopsies and fewer
missed cancers
