BayChoice Breast Center
400 Medic Lane, Suite E, Alvin, Texas 77511
BayChoice Breast Center offers the comprehensive medical services
you need, including information on self-examination,
mammography, and the full spectrum of breast surgeries. All this in ■
a comfortable, secluded setting where you will always receive the,
he statistics are frighten-
ing: one out of every eight women in the U.S. will develop breast
cancer during their lifetime. Breast cancer is the second leading
cause of cancer deaths among women. And, 80 percent of breast
cancer patients will have no family history of the disease.
But there is something you can do. Early detection is the most
important step in successful treatment. When the disease is
discovered early, 90 percent of breast cancer patients survive.
Your best resources in the battle against breast cancer are self-
examination, professional exams, and routine mammograms.
BayChoice Breast Center offers comprehensive breast care and
mammography to give you peace of mind. We have created a
comfortable, secluded setting where you can learn about self-
examination and get the professional medical services you need. In
addition to our mammography screenings, our board-certified
surgeons perform both cosmetic and reconstructive breast surgery.
And, we always give you the utmost respect and privacy.
We recommend that women over the age of 50 have a mammogram
and clinical exam every year; ages 40 to 50 every one to two years;
and ages 20 to 40 a baseline mammogram and a clinical exam once
every three years.
To help you get started, BayChoice Breast Center is offering a
special $50 Mammography Screening. The fee includes a screening
mammogram, which will be performed by a mammography-cert ified
female radiologic technologist and interpreted by one of our skilled
radiologists. In the event your mammogram returns positive, your
screening will also include a free consultation with one of our board-
certified surgeons.*
if you would like additional information about the warning signs of
breast cancer or would like to take advantage of our special
Mammography Screening, please call our office to schedule an
