Treatment
Surgical Institute provides comprehensive breast care including preventative measures, risk assessment and counseling, biopsy and patient directed treatment options. We utilize all current diagnostic and treatment modalities including ultrasound, mammography, office needle aspiration, needle localization, stereotactic biopsy, mammotone biopsy and surgical treatment options from breast preservation to mastectomy. By having all the options as a part of our standard practice, we can tailor-fit the needs and individual desires of each patient.
We will educate and assist you with decision making - not dictate your care.
