Outpatient Radiology Scottsbluff Introduces Convenient, Self-Schedule Mammograms
Outpatient Radiology Scottsbluff (OPR Scottsbluff) is proud to introduce self-schedule mammograms, so no matter the day or time, women can take this critical step for their breast health. With a fast, user-friendly scheduling portal, women in Wester Nebraska can make their screening mammogram appointment while waiting in the early morning coffee line or after hopping in bed at the end of a busy day. Self-schedule mammograms make it easy, convenient, and fast for women to ensure their health doesn’t fall to the bottom of their to-do list.
Starting at age 40, women should begin getting their annual screening mammogram, one of the most important steps in early breast cancer detection. Now it’s easier than ever to make an appointment with OPR Scottsbluff. With the new self-scheduling feature on the website, individuals can make an appointment for a screening mammogram anytime, anywhere. No phone calls, no waiting for business hours, just quick scheduling on a mobile device or computer.
“With one in eight women being diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime, I can’t stress enough the importance of staying current on your annual mammograms. Our goal is to make your mammogram as easy, convenient, and comfortable as possible. The new self-schedule feature is just one way we can help make your mammogram that much easier,” says OPR-S Radiologist, Dr. Michael Yung.
Dr. Yung is the board-certified radiologist at OPR Scottsbluff, providing comprehensive women’s imaging alongside a team of experienced technologists. He shares that regardless of a patient’s health or history, a mammogram is the most effective way to detect breast cancer early when it’s most treatable. Women who are over 40, have a family history of breast cancer, or have any risk factors can self-schedule their annual screening mammogram online at their convenience at oprscottsbluff.com. No doctor’s order is needed to schedule your screening mammogram, and OPR Scottsbluff can easily compare prior breast imaging from other facilities.
