Breast Cancer -- A Special Focus

The American Cancer Society estimates that one out of every nine women in the United States will develop breast cancer sometime during her life. That's why we are committed to helping women diagnose breast tumors in the earliest stages. Baylor Carrollton's Center for Breast Health provides screening and diagnostic mammograms performed by licensed female technicians. Screening mammograms are available in three convenient locations. Comprehensive diagnostic breast care services are provided in our Carrollton location, including diagnostic mammography, breast ultrasound and biopsy services. We provide individualized care and expedient results by offering a personal consultation with a radiologist specializing in breast imaging during all diagnostic breast health services.

Remember, early detection and prevention are keys to better health. Please follow these guidelines:

  • Practice monthly self-breast exams. If you have any symptoms whatsoever, CALL YOUR PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY!
  • Beginning at age 35, discuss routine screening plans with your physician for tests like mammograms and bone densitometry.
  • The American Cancer Society recommends annual screening beginning at age 40.

To schedule a mammogram, ultrasounds and/or bone density test, please call us at 972.394.1080.

Gynecological Services

Gynecological care begins when you are a young adult and follows you the rest of your life. After all, you have an entire lifetime in which to take care of yourself. We want you to remain healthy and active throughout your life. Remember that we have knowledge, experience and resources to address your medical needs before, during and after childbirth, as your children are growing up, during your 'middlessence years' and through to your mature years.
