Our healthcare expertise

• Breast care icon plus

  The Breast Unit at Chiswick Medical Centre is a dedicated clinic that offers the full spectrum of breast assessment - all under one roof. This includes diagnosis and treatment of benign and malignant breast diseases, as well as the full range of breast reconstruction options.

  We aim to make our patients’ experience as stress-free and comfortable as possible, and so from this February, rather than wait for GP referral, patients who meet the relevant criteria can refer themselves directly to our Breast Unit.

  From the moment you enter the clinic you’ll benefit from our rapid-access, consultant-led service, receiving the very best in breast care and assessment. We use the latest digital mammography technology that not only detects breast cancer early, but decreases waiting times and increases reliability and speed of diagnosis – meaning we’re able to both screen and provide you with your results all within the same visit.

  The one-stop aspect of our specialist breast clinic is one of the things we’re most proud to offer local residents, as we strongly believe the same-day access to our triple assessment breast care service helps to ease any stress-related health concerns, whilst also making a trip to come and see us far more time-efficient for you.
