Patients can expect personalized, expert-level care without the burden of traveling to multiple clinics, medical offices, or treatment centers.

The Center provides a broad range of diagnostic services, including 3D mammography, ultrasound, MRI, and minimally invasive biopsy techniques.

For those diagnosed with breast cancer, our Center offers a range of treatment options, including advanced surgery, radiation therapy, intraoperative radiotherapy, immunotherapy, and more.

Additionally, the Center is involved in national and international clinical trials, allowing patients to participate in research and novel therapies not yet widely available.

One of our program’s defining features is the individualized care facilitated by a dedicated patient navigator. Navigators serve as advocates that ensure patients receive timely care, emotional support, and guide patients through every stage of their experience.

“Our Breast Center is built on a foundation of innovation, accessibility, and patient-centered care,” said Dr. Dennis Holmes, medical director at the Sam and Grace Carvajal Breast Center. “By offering a full spectrum of diagnostic tools and advanced treatment options, we aim for the best possible outcomes while ensuring patients never feel alone in their journey.”

Beyond diagnosis and treatment, the Breast Center emphasizes holistic recovery and survivorship. Support groups provide patients and their families with a sense of community and shared understanding, while specialized survivorship programs focus on long-term health, wellness, and emotional resilience.
