Doris Shaheen Breast Health Center
Comprehensive Breast Health in a Caring Environment
The Doris Shaheen Breast Health Center at Piedmont Atlanta Hospital offers comprehensive breast services, including screening and diagnostic mammography, stereotactic and ultrasound-guided core biopsies and breast MRI -- aimed at achieving early diagnosis and optimal treatment for breast cancer. One of the first facilities of its kind in Atlanta, today the Center and its satellite facilities care for more than 36,000 women each year.
Our compassionate physicians, nurses and technologists are sensitive to your individual needs, making certain you feel comfortable throughout your care. In addition, our breast cancer nurse navigator will guide you throughout your breast cancer treatment, from the time of diagnosis through testing, treatment and into recovery.
Patient programs include pre- and post-operative education and support, the American Cancer Society's Look Good/Feel Better programs, as well as support groups through Cancer Wellness at Piedmont. While we are here to support you, remember to do your part too: perform breast self-exams every month. If you are 35, it is time for your baseline. And, if you are over 40, you should schedule a mammogram each year.
For more information or to schedule a mammogram call 770-801-2345. Hours are by appointment Monday through Saturday.
