Breast Care

Presbyterian Breast Care provides screening, diagnosis, treatment and a variety of care options for breast cancer and other non-malignant breast disease, helping patients create a plan and decide what treatment options are best for them. Our multidisciplinary team of radiologists, medical and surgical oncologists, social workers, nurse navigators, and nutritionists work together in one convenient location where patients can access healthcare providers with experience in breast health and screening, cancer surveillance and treatment, genetics, and surgery. Patients with new cancer diagnoses can receive a same-day consultation with a breast radiologist, breast surgeon, medical oncologist, and radiation oncologist, depending on their clinical needs.
