Major advances have been made in the diagnosis and treatment of breast disease over the last 5 years.  Improved technologies have made identification of breast masses a reality in the breast surgeon’s office.  Coupled with minimally invasive breast biopsy devices, it is now possible to biopsy breast lumps and abnormalities without the need for a trip to the operating room.

Just as importantly, the time between finding a lump or mammographic abnormality and getting the diagnosis has been greatly shortened.  Roughly 80% of breast problems are benign.  Rapid diagnosis relieves anxiety for those with benign problems.  Women with cancer can move more quickly and pro-actively to the best treatments available.

Our office is committed to the latest technology for breast diagnosis, and this commitment carries over into the operating room for surgical therapy.  We offer state of the art surgical care for our breast patients, including sentinel node biopsy, breast conservation where appropriate, and coordination of care with radiation therapy and medical oncology.
