On the day of your screening, please avoid wearing deodorant, lotion, or perfume above the waist and wear a two-piece outfit for convenience.

All patients should bring a photo ID, insurance card, and the name of their primary care physician. Forms, including the Breast Imaging Form and Medical Records Release Form, must be completed and presented at the time of the appointment.
