Center for Breast Care
At the Center for Breast Care at Brown Surgical Associates, our first priority is treating a patient's cancer. We also believe it is important to offer surgical treatments that provide you with the highest quality of life.
Our multidisciplinary team of radiologists, pathologists, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, plastic surgeons, and genetic counselors work together to provide you the personalized care you need. Our patient-centered philosophy creates a compassionate and supportive environment where patients are encouraged to take an active role in their treatment.
Our surgeons are nationally recognized experts in breast cancer and have pioneered many of the latest surgical advances in breast cancer treatment. We care for patients with all types of breast diseases and focus on treatments that preserve tissue and restore a woman's natural contour. We remain committed to continually pursuing new treatments that optimize patient care but minimize morbidity.
