Breast Health Clinic
We have designed our Breast Health Clinic to help reduce the time between each patient’s diagnosis and their treatment, by providing a collaborative, multidisciplinary care plan all in one day. One of the benefits of the services offered at our cancer center is the expert team on our Multidisciplinary Breast Tumor Board. As our surgical oncologist, Rajendra Bhati, MD, says to every one of his patients: “The Breast Clinic was designed to bring the doctors to the patient, instead of the patient to the doctors.”

Why Choose Us
Compassionate Patient-Centered Care
We focus on providing patient/family-centered care. Our breast health team takes the time to get to know each patient, their complete health situation, and their treatment goals. We involve patients at each step of the care process, and always keep them informed of what’s happening with their health care plan.
Access to the Latest Care Through Clinical Trials
Memorial Health System is one of the most active clinical trial sites in Ohio. Through ongoing nationally recognized cancer research and trials, we are able to offer treatments that won’t be available to the general public for months or even years from now. We are proud of our role in finding new ways to treat and beat cancer on all fronts. Learn more about our ongoing cancer clinical trials.
Coordinated Care with Specialty Providers
When needed, our breast health team can coordinate care with other specialty providers across the Memorial Health System network. We work to streamline care so patients can focus on getting well, instead of spending lots of time coordinating medical appointments and specialists.
