Dr. Melinda Staiger is one of the most experienced breast radiology practice in the United States. Dr. Melinda Staiger believes in a comprehensive approach to breast imaging and breast disease diagnosis. Because research has demonstrated that patients have better outcomes when prospective treatment planning occurs before actual treatment occurs, Dr. Staiger and her staff collaborate closely with pathologists with special training in the diagnosis of breast disease, and with a team of specialized breast surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation therapists and plastic surgeons to ensure that breast cancer is diagnosed early, when it has the best chance of being cured, and treated effectively.

Because most clinical problems experienced by patients are not breast cancer related, Dr. Staiger carefully evaluates symptomatic patients with tests ranging from individually tailored digital mammography, through whole breast ultrasound performed by the radiologist, not a tech or general radiologist, and culminating when necessary with a minimally invasive but highly accurate variety of imaging-guided breast biopsy procedures ("band-aid biopsies") to ensure that patients do not undergo unnecessary and costly surgical procedures.

Dr. Staiger believes that that all women deserve the type and quality of care usually available only in a major metropolitan university hospital, and that is the type of care we deliver. Because Dr. Staiger has served as director of breast imaging services at major university hospitals, she is uniquely qualified to bring such care to women in the community she serves.

Experience, training and technology matter in order to provide accurate care, that is why patients and their physicians count on Dr. Melinda Staiger. Learn more at http://www.gswomensimaging.com.
