Treatment Philosophy

I’ve been practicing breast imaging for over 25 years. My practice philosophy is to provide patient-centered care, always remembering the individual who has entrusted their care to me. In breast imaging the overall goal is to treat all breast disease (benign and malignant), but particularly to find cancers when they are small. To accomplish that, it is pertinent to screen women and to tailor that screening process depending upon their family history, genetics (where applicable), breast density, and other individual needs. Education is key to make sure that all women understand how they can reduce their individual cancer risk and how they can help us to find cancers when they are most readily treatable.
