It is our goal to provide the highest quality and most comprehensive breast health care services available. The Vancouver Clinic offers a fullservice Breast Care Center. At the center of this service is Dr. Ochsner, the only fellowship trained, board certified breast Radiologist available in Vancouver. The Vancouver Clinic, because it is a multi-specialty clinic with a full spectrum of ancillary services, is uniquely qualified to provide a full range of breast care services. Patients are able to obtain all their breast care services in one place – screening, diagnosis, biopsy, and treatment – guided by a Breast Care Navigator ( a nurse specially trained to help patients through diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer). The multi-disciplinary physicians, breast surgeons, medical and radiation oncologists, pathologists, and a breast care navigator meet together weekly at one table to provide the most comprehensive and individualized care available for patients undergoing treatment for breast cancer.
