    Mammography Screenings

    Your experience begins in a peaceful lobby that features a peaceful view of Mt. Diablo. From there, you will be shown to your own private changing room and given a warm, soft mammography jacket to wear during your screening exam.

    Mammography screenings use state-of-the-art digital imaging. This advanced technology allows radiologists to spot even the smallest abnormalities with computer-aided detection, and emit half the radiation of traditional analog mammography. Dedicated mammography radiologists view the mammograms and patients are then contacted with results.

    For an appointment call (925) 962-9129.
