Expert Breast Biopsy Services
At Eve’s Breast Center, we specialize in expert breast biopsy services, offering compassionate care and precise diagnostics for all our patients. When a significant abnormality is detected on a mammogram or ultrasound, a breast biopsy is performed to extract a sample of breast tissue for examination by a pathologist. While many biopsies reveal benign findings, a final pathology report is essential for a definitive diagnosis.
Our board-certified radiologists at Eve’s Breast Center are leaders in the field of breast imaging, employing cutting-edge technologies and techniques to ensure accurate results. With our state-of-the-art facilities and prompt analysis of biopsy samples, we provide timely and thorough evaluations. We understand the concerns and anxieties that accompany the need for a biopsy, which is why our team is dedicated to providing personalized care and support throughout the process.
I will not hesitate to return to Eve’s/MedX for any necessary imaging. I have been recommending them since my first appointment and have already scheduled my six-month follow-up visit.

Dr. Khan is very knowledgeable and thorough and her office staff are very nice. Prices are affordable and you don't get charged a facility fee like other big hospitals charge. Git an appointment fast and easy. I will definitely be going back for any future imaging needed. I highly recommend.
