A breast surgeon is trained to evaluate and manage patients with breast pain, benign lumps and cysts and abnormal mammograms, in addition to breast cancer. It is important to realize that the majority of benign (non-cancerous) breast conditions do not require surgery. The use of breast ultrasound for evaluation and for procedure guidance is an integral part of my practice, and minimally-invasive as well as non-operative procedures are often used where historically surgery might have been the only option.
