CHI Memorial Breast Care Associates provides comprehensive and compassionate breast care to every woman in a convenient, comfortable setting. Discovering an abnormality is alarming, and you want answers as soon as possible. That’s why our fellowship trained breast surgeons and specialized staff strive to provide same day diagnostic imaging, surgical consultation and biopsy to reduce a typically long journey.
With breast cancer, successful treatment starts with an accurate diagnosis. We offer the most advanced imaging technology for our patients like tomosynthesis mammography, a technique that creates a 3D image of breast tissue to help screen patients for breast cancer. Our highly accurate diagnostic tests are used to evaluate and develop a treatment plan if necessary.
When someone is diagnosed with breast cancer, their specific case is presented at CHI Memorial’s multi-disciplinary breast conference, where their plan of care is discussed with a surgical oncologist, plastic surgeon, pathologist and radiation and medical oncologists. Working as a team, our renowned staff of specialists will provide you with a customized plan and your best chances for a full recovery. We’re fully prepared to meet the complex needs of patients and their families.
