To schedule an appointment, please call 901.516.6777.
Previous Studies
If you have had prior breast studies done elsewhere, shorten your turnaround time and reduce reporting delays by filling out the Breast Center Release Form. Please download the form, fill it out completely, and fax it to the provider who conducted your previous breast studies.
The value of good mamography is having an old study to compare to and many times prevents the patient from being called back for additional studies. Without previous studies, your report may be delayed.
Early Detection - The Best Protection
One out of every eight women will have breast cancer during her lifetime. But with early detection, the cure rate for breast cancer can be as high as 96 percent. Here are three ways to protect yourself:
-
Have an annual physical examination.
-
Practice regular breast self-examination. The American Cancer Society (ACS) recommends monthly self-exams for women age 20 and older. The ACS also recommends a clinical exam every three years between the ages of 20-39, and every year if you are 40 or older.
-
Schedule a mammogram regularly. The ACS recommends women age 40 and older get a mammogram every year. Your doctor may suggest changes to the standard schedule based on your personal or family history.

Our services include:
-
Three private screening rooms

Five diagnostic suites
