The Breast Surgical Oncology Practice at Beth Israel Brooklyn

The Breast Surgical Oncology Practice at Beth Israel Medical Center, Brooklyn offers top of the line surgical services to women in Brooklyn. The practice was designed so the practitioners can access the knowledge base and expertise of a large Manhattan medical system while meeting the needs of the Brooklyn community in Brooklyn. By partnering with other local physicians, we are able to provide the multidisciplinary team that is needed to treat a complex disease such as breast cancer. We value our relationships with our referring physicians who remain the center of the patients’ treatment team.

The Breast Surgical Oncology Practice works very closely with Breast Imaging to ensure a seamless experience for the patient. Our physicians have developed a system that allows for a faster turnaround of results while achieving the most accurate diagnosis possible. The open communication between the surgeon and the radiologist allows for a multidisciplinary approach to detection and diagnosis. This approach helps to create a continuity of care and a better patient experience overall.
