Breast Surgery
What is an UberDoc Breast Surgery?
UberDoc Breast Surgeons are leading board-certified, academic- and hospital-affiliated experts in the diagnosis and treatment of all benign (noncancerous) and malignant (cancer) breast diseases and conditions.
Breast Surgeons diagnose and treat all conditions affecting the breast, including those involving breast pain, lumps in the breast, breast cysts, and breast cancer. Breast cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer among women. Early detection is critical, and breast surgeons determine patient risk through genetic cancer testing and by taking a careful history of prior breast problems or cancers, family history of cancer, age at menarche, age at menopause, and number of children.

Breast Cancer Specialists advise on genetic testing for high-risk individuals who carry the BRCA gene. Breast Surgeons also treat benign conditions, such as fibrocystic disease and breast pain.
Breast Surgeons evaluate the breast with careful examination for any lump in the breast, nipple discharge, or enlarged lymph nodes. Breast Surgeons also review any imaging the patient has had, including mammography, which has a high sensitivity for detecting early breast cancer. Annual mammography is a reliable and important tool for early detection and has improved patient survival rates. Breast Surgeons are highly-skilled mammography review physicians and trained to interpret and advise on abnormal mammogram results.
Breast Surgeons also use breast ultrasound to determine if a patient has a solid lump or a fluid filled cyst. Ultrasound can also help a Breast Surgeon perform a needle core biopsy or cyst aspiration.
Breast Surgery includes removal of small lumps, breast biopsies, and cancer operations. Surgery for breast cancer is required to remove tumor cells from the breast completely and with a good margin to prevent the tumor from growing back or spreading to lymph nodes or other parts of the body.
A lumpectomy is breast conservation surgery. When paired with radiation therapy, lumpectomy achieves a similar result as a mastectomy or removing the breast entirely.
Your Breast Surgeon is responsible for discussing all treatment options available. Breast Surgeons work closely with a multidisciplinary team of cancer doctors, radiologists, and pathologists to ensure the best outcome for their patients.

Why choose an UberDoc Breast Surgery Specialist for your needs?
A breast surgeon specializes in diagnosing and treating breast conditions including lumps, cysts, benign tumors, and breast cancer. They perform biopsies, lumpectomies, mastectomies, and other surgical procedures.
Through UberDoc, you can book a breast surgeon without a referral, often within days. Early consultation is especially important if you have noticed an unusual change in your breast tissue.
Not necessarily. A breast surgeon can evaluate you based on a physical examination and your symptoms, then order imaging if needed. Having prior mammogram results available can help speed up the evaluation.
