Early detection of breast cancer makes a difference
While it may be easier to put off a mammogram, taking action is the most important step you can take to protect your health.
With three convenient locations, McLaren Greater Lansing offers the comprehensive breast care and mammography services. All of our physicians, clinicians, and staff are attuned to women’s needs and with their clinical expertise and understanding of your health concerns they provide superior care.
In addition to individual consultation rooms and private dressing areas, you can expect a clinical breast exam, review of any recent imagining studies (mammogram, breast ultrasound, MRI) and have recommendations explained thoroughly. Additional imagining, stereotactic core biopsy, ultrasound guided core biopsy, and cyst aspirations will be performed during clinic when possible. If you need surgery, it can be scheduled through the clinic.
