What to expect
Consults
Please note that a pelvic exam will be required prior to any procedure or surgery, including MonaLisa Touch treatments. This ensures we provide the best care and tailored solutions for your needs.
Mammogram
On the day of your mammogram, please don't apply deodorant, antiperspirant, powders, lotions, creams, or perfumes under your arms, or on or under your breasts. Particles from these may show up as white spots on your mammogram that cause confusion. If you are new to our facility, please bring your previous breast imaging reports and images on a CD to your appointment.
Ultrasound
Please check in at the front desk. Drink a minimum of 24 ounces of any fluid at least one hour before your appointment. Do not empty your bladder until you are instructed to do so by the Ultrasound technologist. Your pelvic ultrasound with also include internal imaging, where a small wand will be placed inside the vagina to see your uterus and ovaries. If you are having a pelvic ultrasound, you will typically have a visit imediately after to review the results with your provider. If you are having breast, kidney, or other organs imaged, those studies will be read by our radiologist and your provider will review results with you when they become available.
Bone Density Testing
When you arrive, please check in at the front desk. Please stop taking any calcium supplements 24 hours before the test. Your Bone Density results will be reviewed with one of our nurse practitioners immediately following your test. Any previous testing from outside facilities is requested prior to your current testing date.
