Women’s Health Pavillion At Med Cntr of Aurora-Healthone

Second time around. .. I’ve now «visited» the Mammography Center at the Women’s Health Pavilion (North Campus) twice. Reluctantly, both times. Very reluctantly!
I’ve had mammograms done for a number of years and it always has been a rather unpleasant, uncomfortable experience. Oh, who am I kidding! It has been downright painful in the past! They never seem to get the positioning right the first time, so repeated squishing and arranging always seems to have to be done more than once.
The first time I went to the Women’s Health Pavilion I thought that I just had a very good radiologist tech. It was done quickly and with very little discomfort. .. and the surprising part was that we only had to do it once.
Well, this year I was still gritting my teeth expecting the worst. Surprise! It was even quicker than the last time and with less of the «OK, hold your breath!» (What none of them knew in the past was that I was already holding my breath because the pain was so intense it sucked the breath right out of me!)
But what I have discovered on this last «visit» is that they now use Digital Mammography, not film. The benefits:
+ A faster procedure (all for that!)
+ Better image quality (Yes, sirree!)
+ Fewer retakes (thank you lord!)
Will I go back here again for my next mammogram?
You bet. Professional. Quick. Friendly. And very important.
