A private mammogram is a breast screening procedure that individuals can choose to have at a private medical facility, often outside of the regular government-sponsored screening programs.
Opting for a private mammogram allows you to have the screening done on your preferred schedule and in a comfortable environment. It might also offer faster results and more personalised attention.
You can schedule a private mammogram by contacting our team to book an appointment. Alternatively you can request an appointment online.
The fundamental procedure is the same; however, private mammograms are typically chosen by those who want more control over their screening experience and timeline.
