Before Your Appointment

Most screening mammogram appointments take less than 30 minutes, less than a typical doctor’s visit, making our services convenient and accessible for working women and busy moms who can call to schedule a potentially life-saving screening over a lunch break or before or after work at one of our centers that offers extended or even weekend hours.

Here are a few guidelines to help you prepare for your exam:

  • Inform the scheduling specialist if you have breast implants
  • Have prior films sent to the breast center before your exam
  • Please arrive 15 to 20 minutes before your appointment
  • Wear two-piece clothing
  • Bring your insurance information
  • Please do not wear powder or deodorant
  • Please do not bring small children unless you are also bringing someone to watch them
