When patients need a diagnosis of a condition requiring a tissue sample we have the capability of performing ultrasound directed needle biopsies in our office or performing open breast biopsies in the operating rooms. Most operations, including some cancer operations, are performed on an outpatient basis at the Ambulatory Care Center. If a patient requires hospitalization we are affiliated with The St. Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston, New Jersey.

A typical visit includes the patient completing a detailed medical history, a special confidentiality sheet so that we do not reveal any information to unauthorized individuals, and bringing any breast imaging studies and reports that have been done to the office. A physician examines the patient. The breast imaging studies are reviewed and then a full consultation in a non-rushed atmosphere is conducted with ample time for questions. In addition the patient is provided with written material related to the condition under discussion. Relatives or friends are encouraged to accompany a patient.
