Making an Appointment

Call 415-600-6474 to schedule your mammogram. Once your appointment is scheduled, you will receive a confirmation letter and a questionnaire to complete and bring with you to your appointment.

Previous Mammograms

If you have had previous mammograms taken at another facility it is to your benefit to obtain film copies by contacting your physician. Bring these with you to your appointment, as a review of previous mammograms enables our radiologist to establish a baseline and more accurately detect any changes in breast tissue that may have occurred over time and this may avoid unnecessary additional testing.

Preparing for Your Mammogram

On the day of your mammogram do not apply talcum power or deodorant in the breast or underarm area. These products can alter the quality of the mammogram.

A sterile cotton gown is provided for your privacy. However, for your convenience, we recommend wearing a two-piece outfit as the mammogram procedure requires removing the top half of clothing only.

Registration

Your first stop will be registration desk located on the first floor of 3698 California Street. Bring your physician referral form, your health insurance card and prior authorization letter.

The registration staff will direct you to the mammography area.
