Breast clinic & breast ultrasound

What we offer

• Follow‑up of known benign findings
• Follow‑up after breast cancer

Process & classification (triple assessment)

• Medical history & clinical examination
• Breast ultrasound at our practice (incl. BI‑RADS classification)
• If needed: additional imaging (mammography/MRI) and/or core needle biopsy via our network
• Discussion of results and next steps

Preparation & documents

• Bring previous findings/images (mammography, ultrasound, MRI) or reports
• Note new symptoms, family history or medication changes
• If you have a cycle: schedule the appointment ideally in the first half of the cycle

Cooperation & quality

We work with certified breast centers and radiology partners. For suspicious findings, we seamlessly coordinate further steps (imaging, biopsy) and discuss results together – if desired also involving your GP.

Documentation is provided in writing; you receive a brief summary including a recommendation for the next follow‑up. For benign findings, we plan individualized intervals.

Aftercare

• Individually defined intervals – depending on findings, surgery and oncology
• Coordination within the network; communicating findings to your GP

Common questions

How quickly can I get an appointment?

For palpable lumps, we try to offer prompt appointments. Please contact us by phone or email.

Is a biopsy always required?

No. It depends on the classification. Benign cysts often only require follow‑up.

Does health insurance cover the costs?

Medically indicated examinations are usually billed through basic insurance. For self‑pay patients, we provide a cost estimate in advance.

Can I bring someone with me?

Of course. A trusted person may join the discussion as long as it supports your wellbeing.
