Breast Health and Cancer Prevention
Dr. Elizabeth Riordan offers some important advice to women of all ages.
Maintaining breast health is an important part of wellness for all age groups. From scheduling a routine mammogram to addressing concerns about any abnormalities, the Breast Health Center at Waterbury Health can help by providing personalized, high-quality care.
We offer a comprehensive approach to breast health, from screening and diagnosis to treatment and follow-up support. Our mission is to bring compassionate, coordinated, and comprehensive care to women and men with breast disease in accordance with the gold standard of care as dictated by governing professional breast care societies. The Breast Health Center also has advanced imaging facilities available on-site, including 3D mammography, ultrasound, and MRI.
Breast care at Waterbury Health relies on the expertise of a multidisciplinary team. Our breast surgeons and physicians work closely with radiologists, registered nurses, and personal health navigators to come up with treatment plans tailored to each patient’s needs.
The team has experience treating all types of breast cancer, offering specialized procedures such as breast conservation surgery, Hidden Scar oncoplastic surgery, and nipple-sparing mastectomies. Other common conditions include cysts, nipple discharge, breast/skin/nipple lesions, infections of the breast, and fibrocystic changes. We also consult with patients who might be at high risk for breast cancer with state-of-the-art genetic testing.
