Mammography

Mammograms save lives. It is very important to schedule a yearly mammogram starting at age 40 or before if a breast problem exists. Combined with regular checkups and breast self-exams, mammography is a good way to help doctors find cancer at an early and more curable stage. Our staff has the knowledge, compassion and experience to perform quality mammography.
