Meet with us
If you have a breast concern, please schedule an appointment with us. During your visit, we will explain your condition, answer your questions and discuss your next steps. We may also discuss ways to support your health through diet, exercise and wellness resources.
Our Patient Support Corps can help you prepare for your appointment and decide what questions to ask. They can also support you during appointments by taking notes. With permission, they may also be able to record your appointments for you.
Diagnosis and treatment
After your first appointment, you may be scheduled for additional tests to help with a diagnosis or you may receive treatment recommendations. We may suggest tests to gather more information on your condition. These tests may include imaging (mammography, ultrasound, MRI) or biopsy. We tailor your treatment plan to your condition and priorities. Your treatment may include:
- Chemotherapy
- Hormone therapy
- Radiation
- Surgery
- Treatment for a benign (non-cancerous) condition
Your provider will explain what’s involved and answer your questions.
Our schedulers will coordinate appointments for any tests, treatments, or visits you may have with other specialists. If you’d like to learn more before making a choice about your treatment, we’ll connect you with people who can help you make the right decisions for you.

One of the best things that happened to me [was joining] a telephone support group. I had the opportunity to speak with women in the same situation as me. I got a feeling of hopefulness in a very frightening time in my life.
