Make an Appointment
Appointments, which are often available within a week, can be made by calling the center at (602) 870-6079. Please note that a physician's referral is required for all screening mammograms and diagnostic breast health services.
For your convenience, we provide screening mammograms from 6:30 am to 5:30 pm, Monday through Thursday. Diagnostic workups, for women who have already detected lumps, usually can be scheduled within 24 hours on weekdays. Likewise, 24-hour biopsy results are available on Monday through Thursday.
Comprehensive, Coordinated Care
The center's female staff includes an experienced, dedicated breast radiologist who is backed by a highly-trained team of mammography technologists and support staff. We work closely with referring physicians, breast surgeons and oncologists to ensure that each case is handled properly.
