Published February 29th, 2024 by Great Lakes Medical Imaging

Receiving a breast cancer diagnosis can be a life-altering moment, filled with a mix of emotions and questions about the future. 

At Great Lakes Medical Imaging (GLMI) in Buffalo, NY, we understand the complexities and challenges that come with this diagnosis. Our dedicated team is committed to providing not just clinical care but comprehensive support and solutions to help our patients in Western New York navigate this difficult journey.

Personalized Care Plans

At GLMI, we believe that every patient's journey is unique, and so should be their care plan. Our multidisciplinary team of experts, including radiologists specialized in breast imaging, oncologists, surgeons, and support staff, work together to create personalized treatment plans that address both the medical and emotional needs of our patients.

Advanced Diagnostic Services

Accurate Diagnosis with Advanced Imaging: Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial in determining the most effective treatment plan. GLMI offers state-of-the-art diagnostic services, including 3D mammography, breast MRI, and ultrasound, to provide detailed images that help identify the specific type and stage of breast cancer.

Minimally Invasive Biopsies: When further analysis is needed, our radiologists utilize minimally invasive biopsy techniques guided by advanced imaging. This approach ensures precise targeting, reduces discomfort, and provides quick results, allowing for timely treatment planning.

Support Beyond Imaging

Patient Navigators: Understanding the overwhelming nature of a breast cancer diagnosis, GLMI provides patient navigators who offer guidance, support, and coordination of care throughout the diagnostic and treatment process. They serve as a consistent point of contact, helping patients and their families navigate the healthcare system, understand their treatment options, and access the resources they need.

Emotional and Psychological Support: Recognizing the emotional toll of a breast cancer diagnosis, we offer access to counseling and support groups. These resources provide a safe space for patients to share their experiences, connect with others on similar journeys, and receive emotional support.

Educational Resources: Knowledge is empowering. GLMI provides patients with comprehensive educational materials about breast cancer, treatment options, and lifestyle adjustments. Our aim is to equip patients with the information they need to make informed decisions about their care.

Collaborative Care Approach

Collaboration is at the heart of our care philosophy. GLMI's specialists work closely with the broader Western New York medical community, including oncologists, surgeons, and other healthcare providers, to ensure a coordinated and seamless care experience for our patients.
