Comprehensive Well-Woman Care
Brodie Lane location now offers mammograms
For women over the age of 40, comprehensive well-woman care includes an annual breast exam, a Pap test every 3 to 5 years, and an annual mammogram. Typically, this means visiting an OBGYN’s office on one date and scheduling a mammogram at an imaging center on a different day. Our Austin OBGYNs now offer the convenience of both the annual exam and mammogram in one location at 9805 Brodie Lane.
Benefits of annual exam and mammogram in one location
Having an annual exam and mammogram in one location on the same day improves this essential preventative care process for women in several ways. The convenience of the two appointments on one day, and in one location, is foremost. Also, the two exams on the same day means timing of the annual exam and mammogram stays synced, with no risk of the mammogram being pushed later in the year or forgotten.
With both exams in one location, there’s no waiting for mammogram orders. The physician’s orders are readily available. If there are any questions about specific imaging to be done, your OBGYN is available in the building to answer them. After the exam, the results are interpreted by board-certified radiologists who communicate directly with our physicians, resulting in less waiting time and fewer questions about the results.
This approach to comprehensive well-woman care can also offer peace of mind. Being able to have a mammogram performed immediately after a breast exam is reassuring. Whether the mammogram confirms a normal result or further examines a questionable finding on the breast exam, there is less time spent waiting.
Can you get a mammogram at your well-women visit? Our answer is yes!
An annual well-woman exam and mammogram are both essential to a woman’s health. They improve a woman’s overall health with early detection of medical conditions. Identifying and treating a condition before it becomes symptomatic significantly improves the patient's outcome. Annual exams also offer preventive care, address reproductive health, and are tailored to your individual needs.
