Putting Patients First
At the Center for Breast Care at University Surgical Associates our first priority is treating a patient's cancer. We also believe it is vitally important to provide surgical treatments that restore the highest quality of life. At University Surgical Associates, we work with a multidisciplinary team of radiologists, pathologists, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, plastic surgeons, and genetic counselors to offer personalized care. Our patient-centered philosophy creates a compassionate and supportive environment where patients are encouraged to take an active role in their treatment.
Our surgeons are nationally recognized experts in breast cancer and have pioneered many of the latest surgical advances in breast cancer treatment. We care for patients with all types of breast diseases focusing on treatments that preserve tissue and restore a woman's natural contour. We remain committed to continually pursuing new treatments that optimize patient care but minimize morbidity.
