The physicians and staff of the Carol M. Baldwin Breast Care Center are committed to providing patients with high quality, patient-centered care. By working in a collaborative setting that fosters coordinated and leading-edge treatment approaches, we believe our patients benefit from the very latest in technology, while receiving compassionate and coordinated care.

Our weekly Treatment Planning Conference is a multidisciplinary forum where we review potential treatment options for patients with newly diagnosed cancer or patients with recurrent disease. At this conference, their individual cases are presented to a team of highly trained cancer specialists, including radiologists, breast surgeons, pathologists, reconstructive surgeons, radiation oncologists, and medical oncologists.
