  Same Day Mammogram Results Help Ease Women’s Worries web posted October 17, 2012 AUGUSTA – Mammograms continue to be the most effective method for detecting breast cancer in women. Doctors Hospital has recently implemented measures to inform women about mammogram results within 24 hours of the screening. The results have been resoundingly positive; in most cases patients can put their minds at ease by receiving a favorable result faster. “As a woman I understand the importance of knowing my results from an exam such as a mammogram as quickly as possible,” said Sue Sisco, Manager of the Women’s Diagnostics Center at Doctors Hospital. “These same day results were recently implemented in an effort to provide our patients with fewer worries for a shorter period of time. They know when they leave our facility that they’ll be hearing from us soon.” Should any abnormal results come back from the mammogram; same day results provide the staff at the Women’s Diagnostics Center, the opportunity to discuss with the patient the next steps in their care quickly. This efficient turnaround of information reduces concerns that they may have because the ball gets rolling for treatment quickly. “I went in for my mammogram in the morning, and by that afternoon at 2 pm, I already knew my results,” said Charlotte Hill, a patient who received her mammogram at Doctors Hospital. Previously, results would be given to patients through the mail within one week of the screening. To schedule your mammogram, call: (877) 357-0159. Appointments are from 8:30 am - 4:30 pm Monday through Friday with the exception of Tuesday. Mammograms can be scheduled as late as 6:00 pm to accommodate those with longer working hours. © Copyright 2012 All material is property of
