Watson Clinic Women's Center Breast Health Services

Watson Clinic in Lakeland, Florida treats more breast cancer patients than any other medical establishment in the Polk County area. Components of our Breast Healthcare Service include a Women's Center for digital mammography and breast screening, as well as consultation for breast, plastic and reconstructive surgery services, complimented by our accredited partner sites, Watson Clinic LLP (AAAHC-accredited, ACR-accredited radiology department) and the Center for Cancer Care & Research (ACS, CoC-accredited). From Suite A of the Women's Center, patients benefit from advanced digital mammography technologies, supervised and read by dedicated breast imagers with fellowship training and expertise in mammography, breast ultrasound and BSGI. MRI and MRI-guided biopsy are available through Watson Clinic's radiology department. Suite B of the Women's Center offers breast surgery consultation and plastic surgery services -- often working in concert to provide patients with immediate reconstruction and oncoplastic techniques.

Breast-specific nurse navigators guide patients through all phases of care -- from diagnosis to intervention and through survivorship. Dedicated oncologists work from the Moffitt-affiliated Center for Cancer Care & Research using the most advanced chemotherapy and radiation technologies available. Onsite social workers are available as needed.

Patient participation in clinical trials is encouraged with eligibility discussed at a weekly multidisciplinary breast conference. Access to comprehensive rehabilitation and survivorship programs is provided for the physical and emotional needs of patients, including multiple cancer survivor support groups, outreach events, nutrition counseling and exercise programs.

Watson Clinic Breast Healthcare Service, inclusive of the Women's Center, the Main Clinic and the Center for Cancer Care & Research, is proud to inspire heightened breast health awareness and a better quality of life for women throughout central Florida.
