Avestee Womens Imaging Center

This was my second time to get a 3D mammogram at Avestee. The first experience was very positive and I remember telling myself, «make sure you come back here again.»
Going back today, it reinforced why I’ll come back again. It is a spa-​like atmosphere. From the friendly greeting, to the short wait — to the heated gown, private changing room with a lock — even the 3D machine felt less painful than the regular 2D procedure.
This is where I will come back for future mammograms.

I have been going to another «Women’s» imaging facility and after a bad rushed experience was referred here by my Dr. LOVE IT! The experience from online appt request to the warmed ladylike robes was AMAZING! The best part and why they received a 5 star is that they are ALL personable and actually SPEAK and explain everything. I was SO nervous and the professionalism through all the personnel placed me at ease and relaxed. I didn’t have that question as to whether they had REALLY looked and checked my dense breasts. They HAD and explained all they saw! Quiet, relaxing and soothing in a difficult situation. It doesn’t get any better than that. They even post their prices and I’ll pay cash to go back if needed.

It seems strange to write a five star review of a favorite restaurant, and then write a five star review of the place that literally saved my life. I am a very healthy 44 year old… I never even meet my annual insurance deductible.
During my annual GYN exam, my doctor recommended Avestee Imaging for my annual mammogram. He said the 3D technology and the radiologist, Dr. Dabbous were the best. Prior to this, I’d had three completely normal 2D mammograms.
Yes, the offices are gorgeous, spa-​like and relaxing. Yes, the robes are heated. Yes, the staff was super friendly and professional, but all of that is secondary to their real advantage over all of the other places — the 3D technology. Almost one year later, after a unilateral mastectomy and reconstruction, my gynecologist, surgeon and oncologist all told me that essentially 3D mammogram caught my aggressive malignant tumor early enough so that it didn’t spread beyond the breast. I was told that If I’d had a regular 2 dimension mammogram, it most likely would have gone another year undetected and metasticized.
Dr. Dabbous and her staff are wonderful! I am truly grateful for their expertise.

Wonderful place to have a mammogram! This was my first time getting this done and I couldn’t have been referred to a better facility. I had an 8:00am appointment and unfortunately was running late. The front desk woman was so kind and did not make feel guilty for being a few minutes late, like some offices do. There was a very calming spa like quality to the whole office. I felt like I was waiting in a friends comfy apartment with the option to have some coffee and sit and enjoy my few minutes of wait time. I was then brought to the back and given a heated robe to change into. They have individual locked changing rooms to hang your clothes and leave your purse while you get your images taken. The tech was very sweet and answered any and all questions I asked. She seemed very knowledgeable and she was gentle. Overall a great experience. I scheduled for next year!

The best place to get a mammogram! This imaging center has very spa-​like qualities. The waiting room was very cozy and inviting with a table and sitting area and a self serve expresso maker. The ladies speak to you with very calming tones. Having a sister who is a 2 time breast cancer survivor, one can imagine the anxiety that can build up every time I have to get my mammo done. I have to emphasize the zen-​like, calming feel of this place…
Once you walk to the back, it gets spa-​like– the décor of this place is well-​crafted down to the details… curved walls, old-​fashioned keys to the dressing rooms, a secondary waiting room that looks more like an inviting living room… very vintage-​shiek.
The overall procedure went well… the ladies were professional and it never is a pleasant procedure, but they perform as fast and efficient as possible while making sure they give you the attention you need. I even met with the doctor onsite to discuss my results… all negative (thank God since I went in to investigate a lump)!
I would highly recommend this place! Not only because of the quality of the imaging center… the only 3D mammo imaging in town, but the quality of the ladies… may be a little more expensive compared to the regular mammogram (we’ll see how the insurance company covers it, but the information you get is that much more invaluable). Also, there was about a week wait to get an appt, so depending on how quickly you need a service, you will need to take that into perspective… if you need to get in right away, check for a cancellation, otherwise, will most likely have to wait…
It is definitely worth it…
I left very happy and calm and now have a new place to go every year, so I won’t feel so «herded» like the other imaging centers in town. Great women’s imaging center…
