| We
offer screening mammograms, diagnostic mammograms
and breast ultrasounds, in partnership with our affiliated
radiology practice, Severance Radiology Services (SRS).
You can access our services on referral from your
healthcare provider or you can elect our facility
when it is time for your annual mammogram.
For every
new patient who has previously had a mammogram elsewhere,
we contact the previous mammography
provider and get the most recent films in order to
compare.
We are
accredited by the American College of Radiology and
compliant with the Mammography Quality Standards Act.
All six
of our mammography technologists have obtained registry
in this specialty with their professional organization.
Although the MQSA standards require interpretation
of 480 mammograms annually, our radiologist
reads and interprets between 9,000 and 10,000!
Your appointment
at our center may include the viewing of a video to
help you learn the proper techniques of breast self
exam (BSE) and the motivation to make BSE a part of
your health routine.
We are
included in most common
insurance plans. We will bill your plan in your
behalf. We provide discounted rates for uninsured
women. Uninsured, low-income women may be eligible
to get a free mammogram under our B.E.S.T. grant from
the American Cancer Society.
Convenient
appointments are available in the early morning,
late afternoon and Saturday mornings. A phone call
to 216-382-8874 during office hours
will allow you to select your most convenient appointment
time. Appointments are usually available within a
few days. Urgent requests will be accommodated.
WDC and
SRS want to empower women to become educated and involved
in their own medical welfare.
