Whether you are interested in an overall evaluation of your breast cancer or want a second opinion, we invite you to call us for an appointment at 480-860-4200. Because our service is completely FREE, you do not need to worry about insurance coverage or payments.

Our patients are provided a second look at their actual tissue samples by our pathologist. This, in turn, provides a written pathology report for each patient that is seen through our program. All breast cancer treatments have long-term effects, therefore, it is so important that you understand your diagnosis and all of your treatment options, thoroughly, before making any decisions.
Our Patient Advocate will be there to answer your questions and guide you on a path that best suits your needs. We are open during normal business hours, Mountain Standard Time, so please call us with any questions you may have.

Once you have called our Patient Advocate, she will set up an appointment for you to meet with the team of specialists. We refer to this as your "conference." Appointments are held each Wednesday at the AIBH Office.

On the Friday prior to your appointment, you will be asked to hand-deliver or FedEx to our office, the following items:

Recent mammogram and ultrasound films along with associated reports A summary of any treatments you have had to date Any additional x-rays, scans and staging studies that have been completed Any other pertinent information concerning past medical history that applies

On the day of your conference, the following steps will occur:

Upon arrival at our facility, you will be asked to complete our New Patient Information Packet. While you are completing your paperwork, The Medical Board, our team of Breast Cancer Specialists, will meet as a group to discuss your case. The Patient Advocate will then present all of your personal health history and medical reports in detail to the group. The Medical Board then discusses and agrees on treatment options, specific to your situation and your diagnosis. You will then meet with one of the doctors, who will review the Medical Board's findings and treatment recommendations. Our Patient Advocate will then meet with you again to answer any questions and summarize what was told so the information presented is very clear and there is no confusion. You will then receive a resource and information packet, which contains breast cancer treatment and support documentation.
