What to Expect at Your First Appointment

Most of our patients are referred to one of our breast surgeons by their primary care provider, breast radiologist, gynecologist, or cancer doctor (oncologist). We also welcome patients who self-refer to our doctors for treatment or second opinions.

Before your first appointment, our new patient coordinators will speak with you on the phone to ask about your condition and what tests or imaging studies you have already had. We will obtain any test results and imaging reports that are not already in the U of U ÑÇÖÞ×ÔοÊÓƵ electronic medical record system.

We want your first visit with the breast surgeon to be as efficient and helpful as possible. To save time, the surgeon may ask you to have additional tests before your appointment. 

During your initial appointment, the surgeon will discuss your condition with you and conduct a physical exam. Your breast surgeon may provide a treatment plan during this first appointment. For many patients, surgery for the breast condition or cancer is the first step, but for others more testing or treatment is needed. Your breast surgeons will coordinate the care that is needed for your specific condition.
