Our priority is to provide patients with accessible and superior care by expert breast radiologists. We aim to make the process of scheduling, screening, receiving results, and potential next steps as easy as possible, reducing any worry and anxiety for our patients. From scheduling to diagnosis, Boutique Breast Imaging treats each of our patients as though you are our mother, sister, aunt or friend and not just another breast exam quickly passing through a daily workload of screenings.
Timely Communication for Abnormal Findings
If results are abnormal, patients will receive a phone call immediately upon report signing.
Appointments
Diagnostic mammography and ultrasound appointments (for patient issues) may be requested online or at 904-901-0110
or at scheduling@boutiquebreastimaging.com An onsite breast radiologist will be supervising the exam, performing physical exam and ultrasounds as needed, and discussing the findings in person with the patient.
Risk Assessments
Risk Assessments will be performed and utilized in conjunction with breast tissue density/composition to make personalized breast cancer screening recommendations and/or recommended genetic testing, individualized to each patient.
MRI Screenings and Diagnostic Exams
MRI Screenings will be available soon, with interpretations and consultations with patients performed by BBI breast radiologists.
Fast-tracked Biopsy Care
Breast biopsies will be performed only by board-certified breast radiologists, utilizing state-of-the-art stereotactic/tomosynthesis or ultrasound guidance (or MRI guidance) and more-than-sufficient numbing medication. We ensure each patient is comfortable.
Patient Care
Biopsy scheduling will be expedited. At Boutique Breast Imaging, our primary goal is to reduce patient anxiety and provide the compassion and care patients deserve.
Swift Pathology Turnaround
Pathology results are expedited as well, often providing results within 1-3 days.
Expert Second Opinions
Outside consultations and second opinions are available with our breast imaging radiologists.
Preparing for a Mammogram:
- Scheduling: If you experience hormonal or caffeine-related breast pain, schedule your screening mammogram approximately 7-10 days after beginning your menstrual cycle (at lowest hormonal levels and associated breast tenderness/lumpiness) and limit your caffeine intake the week before the mammogram. Diagnostic mammograms should be scheduled as soon as possible for new findings on exam or symptoms.
- Be sure to either bring prior outside mammograms (breast ultrasounds, MRIs, breast biopsies) with you to the appointment (on CD) or sign an electronic consent with Boutique Breast Imaging in advance so we can ask to have your prior images sent to us electronically before the exam. This is VERY IMPORTANT for you to have us be able to compare the current exam with prior images, if possible.
- Wear a two-piece outfit and comfortable shoes. You will undress from the waist up and change into a robe. Limit any jewelry (no necklaces or long earrings) or leave jewelry at home to avoid the risk of losing it.
- Avoid use of deodorant and body lotions (which produce artifacts on the images) the day of your mammogram. (Wipe off armpit area well before coming in for your mammogram).
- It is not necessary to avoid food or drink before your mammogram, so eat or drink as you normally would the day of your appointment. If you are prone to fainting, be sure to eat a full meal before your exam and stay hydrated. Take your normal daily medications.
- If you are worried about experiencing pain during your mammogram, or if you have experienced pain during a previous mammogram, talk to your doctor about taking an over-the-counter pain medication about 1 hour before your mammogram (on a full stomach).
-
Share important information with your mammogram technician. It is important that you communicate the following information to your mammogram technician before the screening begins:
Any breast changes or problems you are experiencing
If you have breast implants
If you have trouble standing or holding still (without a cane or walker)
If you are breastfeeding
If you are or think you might be pregnant - Try to relax! This important screening will take only a few minutes. Most screening exams are NORMAL, and if not, abnormal diagnoses are usually entirely curable.
