A breast abnormality on an exam or mammogram raises many emotions and
concerns. USA surgeons specializing in breast disease can provide patients
comprehensive evaluation of breast problems including breast lumps, abnormal
mammograms, breast pain, nipple drainage, and evaluation of patients with a
strong family history of breast cancer. 
 
If a lump or abnormality has been detected, your specialist may recommend a
biopsy.  While this thought may be frightening, the results can provide reassuring
peace of mind.  USA surgeons perform the latest minimally invasive breast
biopsies, in the comfort of our office, using stereotactic and ultrasound guidance.
USA surgeons also perform breast cancer surgery as well as coordinating breast
cancer care and therapy with other specialists. 
 
Because breast problems can produce considerable patient anxiety, USA can
schedule a new patient for an appointment with one of our surgeons within 48
hours.
