Super quick, I was in and out in 30 minutes! You have a consultation with the radiologist who checks your films, so you get the results right away. If there are any problems they can be rechecked right away. You also get a manual breast exam.
The facility is lovely, and the people friendly.
I even got a cute pink tote bag!
Highly recommend Lake Medical Imaging for Mammograms!  |
The radiologist performs a clinical breast exam??? Now that's a first in 35 years of practicing medicine. Usually all they get is a diagram from the patients internist or GYN
I think this is a wonderful idea, quite innovative. A radiologist performing a stereotactic breast biopsy ban get a better idea of the target lesion, those performing a plain mammo for evaluation of a suspicious area will be better able to interpret the films. And it is a great double check since AMA guidelines demand that a palpable lesion be investigated further, even if it does not show on mammogram
I would suggest their lawyers draw up a very specific patient consent for this exam, since it would generally be considered beyond the scope of usual radiologic practice, lest they spend their days in court defending an array of sexual harassment lawsuits. I'm adding this place to the list of services we'll need when we get to TV full time, my wife will be there. Thank you for sharing
