We are always here for you
The day a woman (or a man) feels a lump in their breast or is told of an abnormal mammogram can be one of the worst days of their life. It can mark the beginning of a scary and nerve wracking journey. This is why we founded Pinnacle Breast Health where the philosophy is to diagnose and treat everyone in a timely and professional manner. After we perfected diagnostic and surgical skills at some of the finest medical institutions we have turned our attention to providing exceptional care to each patient to ensure the best treatment and outcome.

Our breast health services offer an opportunity to fast track breast screening, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and support services. We advocate for our patients to achieve the best treatment outcomes and experience. We strive for innovation, searching for novel technologies, targeted therapies, less-invasive surgeries and most importantly early cancer detection and prevention.
