Your time is important – to you, to your your family and to us. That’s why screening mammograms performed at Women’s Care at ImageCare generally take less than 30 minutes, less time than a typical doctor’s office visit.
Screening mammograms are the best way to help find breast cancer in its earliest stages, when cure rates are highest. A screening mammogram is for women who do not have symptoms. If we find a problem during your screening mammogram, or if you are experiencing unusual symptoms, we may recommend you receive a diagnostic mammogram or other breast imaging procedure to help identify the cause.
You should schedule a mammogram annually after age 40 while in good health. While a physician referral is not required for this exam, we will need the name of the patient's physician to whom the mammography report can be sent. Further, if an abnormality is found, the patient's physician will be able to set an avenue for proper follow-up.
Our online request an appointment feature is for patients who would like to schedule a future appointment and is not intended for same day appointments.
If you would like to schedule a mammogram, please click the button above and complete the form. A representative will contact you to collect additional information and arrange your appointment.

Radiologists are fellowship trained and reports are delivered to the referring provider within 24-48 hours of their patient’s appointment.
The radiologists who read images taken at this center are not employees of this center or employees of this center’s manager. Rather, they are independent contractors.
