A breast specialist team is available to provide examinations, diagnostic testing and treatment as needed. If a biopsy is necessary, the team will provide options, immediate scheduling and support throughout the entire process. We strive to provide peace of mind by bringing knowledgeable specialists and the latest technology together in one location.

Please bring your most recent mammogram films (or arrange for them to be sent to Wellspring) so results can be reported promptly.
The Wellspring Breast Center offers the following services:
Mammography
Mammography is the most basic breast care need for prevention and early detection, especially in women over 40. The American Cancer Society recommends mammograms once a year, starting at 40, to assure optimal breast health. Wellspring provides yearly screening and diagnostic examinations. Our staff is specifically trained and certified in breast imaging.
Breast Ultrasound
This test, using sound waves instead of x-rays, is sometimes performed to acquire additional information for a diagnosis.
Breast Biopsies
Using either ultrasound or stereotactic guidance, this is a simple, non-operative alternative to sample abnormalities found on breast imaging.
