| When a woman finds a breast lump or is informed that her mammogram is abnormal, her first thought is : "I have breast cancer." Fortunately, this is usually not the case. However, until more definitive information becomes available, she is in a state of high anxiety. We recognize the stress associated with newly discovered breast problems, and have created a unique program to deal with this problem in a timely manner. By simply calling our Breast Care Hot Line (714-619-3308, after hours: 714-541-0101), a woman with a new breast problem can be seen on the day she calls (patients calling in the afternoon may be seen the next morning). The patient will be examined, previous records will be reviewed, and additional mammographic evaluation will be performed, if indicated. Finally, a treatment plan will be provided. In many cases, a diagnosis can be made on the day of the first office visit. |
