I have had yearly mammograms at Breastnet for 15 years.As to the decor noted by another reviewer as poor, I can only say as a physician that it is fresh and charming. The furniture is extremely comfortable. Beige tones NOT gray.I have worked in private offices, community hospitals and university hospitals. The office setting is contemporary.Enough with the decor. When you visit an office for a mammogram it is a stressful situation which may reflect prior negative review.Mammographers competency is why and how I chose a doctor.Dr Wolfe met and excelled my expectations with her compassion and knowledge.As to the front desk, the staff was professional. The mammogram technician was also very professional and asked if there was any discomfort with positioning including the compression.As to informing that Medicare covers a sonogram, I welcome that information. It gives me the power to make an informed decision.I so appreciate that Dr Wolfe reads the images of the mammogram before you leave the office and that I received my report.So, I will return yearly and recommend Dr Wolfe to my friends and family.Full disclosure: I am a very fussy retired radiologist who thought that I would give my opinion as a physician and patient.
This is NOT the old Breastnet of Dr. Barclay-White. This business is cold and clinical. When you check in and have signed all the requisite forms, the receptionist pulls the pen from your hand. All the feminine touches have gone. Everything has changed to tailored gray furniture, gray walls and uniforms, glaring white lights, and curt employees. You will not see the new owner, Dr. Eszter Wolf, unless your insurance carrier covers an office visit with your mammography exam. Medicare does not. They also push ultrasound exams by repeatedly offering one. Normally, an ultrasound isnt indicated unless an abnormality is found. After the Mammography tech informs you of your diagnosis, and you are dressed, you are handed your report card, a photocopied sheet of paper with boxes that are checked, and are expected to leave immediately. The only good part of the experience is that you know the diagnosis on the spot.
After finding a lump in my breast, I was relieved to find somewhere that will get you in the next day. I love that Dr. Wolf comes in and immediately goes over the results. The nurse, Rachel, also was attentive to my needs. The only downside is they don’t take insurance. All of the staff are very caring and the office has a great atmosphere.
I can not say enough good about my visit. This is the best experience I have ever had getting a mammogram. The staff is incredible from the front desk to the the staff doing the mammogram and the ultrasound. Dr Wolfe was amazing and she explained all my results and answered all my questions. She was extremely thorough. I drove 45 minutes to go there but will continue to do so and be under fantastic medical care with this facility.
Arizona Breastnet is the best place to go for a mammogram. I have been going here for the last three years. They are professional, compassionate and extremely careful about each and every mammogram performed in their office. After the pictures are taken, the doctor invites you into her office to review and discuss exactly what she sees and a recommendation. The results are immediate. If extra pictures are needed they are done immediately. Nothing in my experience is worse than waiting for mammogram results and that DOES NOT happen here. Coming here is the best investment I have ever made for my health.
The staff are comforting, the atmosphere is soothing, and Dr. Barclay-White is an expert. I would recommend Breastnet to every woman looking for quality care.
I have been going to Breastnet and seeing Dr Barkley-White for over 15 years. I am consistently grateful for the care I receive. I think it is uncommon to be able to get an annual mammogram then extra views, ultrasound and or biopsy, then meet with the Dr to review the images all at the same place in the same day at the same place. I have dense breasts and they are sometimes hard to read. I have never had to be scared out of my mind with a phone call to come back to check something suspicious. I think that IS priceless. The professionalism, efficiency, safe and lovely environment all add up to an amazing experience. Thank you Breastnet for helping me feel so confident in my care.
Amazing staff, and Dr. Barclay White is so good, very calming demeanor and really puts a person at ease. Great place, highly recommend!
My sister and I have been going to Dr. Barclay-White for 15 years. What a wonderful dedicated doctor. Her staff is compassionate and efficient. The results are fully explained by Dr. Barclay-White in an easily understandable manner, It is a pleasure to get our mammograms every year. We send our patients to BreastNet and they,too, have raved about Dr. Barclay-White and her excellent staff.We applaud them all for keeping us, our patients, and women healthy and happy !
Ive been going here for years...even though it is a 40 minute drive from my house. I wouldnt go anywhere else because I believe Dr Barclay-White is THE BEST THERE IS in this field. It also helps that she is so kind and sweet! I have complete trust in Dr. Belinda Barclay-White and her team!! Thank you for your dedication to outstanding womens health care and exemplary customer service!
I have had the pleasure of working at Arizona Breastnet for 14 years as a technologist. Dr. Barclay-White and all of our staff treat our patients as we would want to be treated ourselves. It is because of this philosophy that our patients receive such great care and compassion. Dr. Barclay-White takes such pride in educating our patients, which takes the fear out of having to have a mammogram. Please consider Arizona Breastnet for your next mammogram!
I would like to say how wonderful the technician Tracey is. She did an ultrasound on my breasts and she was so efficient, kind, thoughtful and explained everything. I was overly nervous and she was so calm and I felt that she really cared about me. Going for mammograms and ultrasounds yearly is stressful for almost everyone. Having such an understanding and kind technician makes the experience much easier. I have been using breast net for 3 years and I have honestly never been to a facility that was so professional and the entire staff is friendly. Having answers before you leave is alleviates so much stress. Once again, I cant praise Tracey and the doctor enough. Donna Clark
The experience at Breastnet is personal, friendly, fast and educational. First you are greeted by a friendly staff member who takes you to a comfortable waiting room with a changing area. After putting a robe you may sit for a few minutes (you wont even get through one article in your favorite magazine so dont get to comfy) before you are taken in for your mammogram, ultrasound or bone density study. Then you wait for another very short time in a second waiting room (still not finishing that article if you happened to bring the magazine along) before you personally meet Dr. Barclay-White and she goes over the results with you. She even shows you the x-rays and explains her findings. I have to say its actually a pleasure to see Dr. Barclay-White each year. She even sends email reminders (Love notes) to do your breast exam every month!
Dr. Barclay-White and staff are so friendly and supportive. The office is run efficiently so the stress level is way down (or as far down as it could be).The fact that you do not have to wait for the diagnosis is a wonderful positive.
I went to San Franciscos Breast Health Center for years, where I could get instant feedback on my mammograms. When I moved to AZ 15 years ago, I looked for a similar facility and found Breastnet where I have been going since. Dr. Barclay Whites Breastnet is state of the art, and I feel I could not be in better hands. I welcome the instant read...and if there is any question, I dont leave there without another mammogram or sonogram until that question is answered. I would not go anywhere else!
I have had the privilege of working with Dr. Barclay-White, the benefit of being her patient, and confidence of placing a family members well-being in her competent hands. You can readily trust every employee, doctor, and technology associated with Arizona Breastnet...the best care available!
Very seldom does a 5 star rating appear with my comments, but Breastnet certainly deserves this rating! The staff is so kind and capable but, of course, the star is Dr. Barclay-White. Her explanations are understandable when, God forbid, a questionable area appears from the mammogram! I had to have a biopsy and she explained exactly what was happening. When she called me with the results (negative, woo hoo) the first words were it was benign!The atmosphere at Breastnet is the frosting on the cake. It is very spa like and restful.
I am a 10 year breast cancer survivor. I used to return yearly to my Chicago radiologist because she found my cancer ...I no longer need to return there since I found Dr. Barclay-White and Breastnet.Dr. Barclay-White is the most thorough Doctor in her field that I have ever known. My definition of Breastnet is, kindness, thorough, knowledgable and professional . You will never be treated as a number...but rather as a woman who matters!!
I have been getting mammograms now for years, and there is no way to make them pleasant. But Dr. Linda Barclay-White has figured out how to make every other aspect of the visit serene and calming. First, it is an all-woman environment. Second, the waiting room, changing area, etc, are much more like a spa than a doctors office. Finally, everyone there is extremely nurturing, even the docs! And of course, they specialize in imaging, and so they are really knowledgable. They also treat you like a partner in your own care, explain everything they are doing, never make you feel like theres such a thing as a dumb question, or that they are hurrying you through. The only downside is that, although they provide you with the documentation, the office does not file your insurance for you. If they would do that, AZ Breastnet would be as perfect as you can get for the mammogram experience.
As a high risk woman, Breastnet provides an invaluable service. Dr. Barclay - White reads the mammogram right in front of you and compares it to the year before. You dont have to wait for your results, and if something is found, other testing is done right away. I wouldnt go anywhere else!
I have been getting mammograms annually for 19 years, my move to Scottsdale and my visit to Arizona Brestnet was outstanding in that for the first time ever I not only was given my results. i was shown them! I am used to a postcard after a few weeks...extremely impersonal and, due to my family history...nerve wracking. Best ever doctor visit!!
Dr. Barclay-Whites and her staffs expertise are not the only reason that I come here for my mammogram. Their care and sensitivity for their patients shine through, and being able to get my results immediately is fantastic and calming to my nerves. I wouldnt go anywhere else.......
I am a breast cancer survivor and so mammograms are stressful. My experience at Breastnet was the best I have ever had. The setting is calm and the staff are efficient and friendly. It is the little things that count at times like these. The scheduling is such that there are only one or two people in the room at a time. There is soothing music, soft lighting, lovely robes and comfortable chairs. The wait is very short and everyone works very hard to make each person feel special and cared for. It was a very pleasant surprise to have the radiologist bring me into a place where I could look at the films from my exam and to have her spend time with me looking at the results. Breastnet is clearly designed for women and BY women. And finally, today I received a hand written card from Dr. Belinda Barday-White welcoming me as a new member. This is a very special place and I recommend it highly. Sheri Mc Cann
Excellent experience and so great to be able to talk to the doctor right then and there as she reads your films and addresses all your concerns and questions.
Have had over 15 years of excellent service and care through two separate breast cancer lumpectomies. Thank you. Thank you!
As a 20-year patient of Dr. Barkely-Whites, I cant imagine going anywhere else for my annual mammogram. The office is a warm and comfortable place, technicians are friendly and put you at ease, and of course, Dr. Barkley-White is personable and truly engaged in making sure you understand your results and health options.
Dr Barclay-White & staff are the best!I wouldnt go anywhere else!
Excellent for your mammogram exam
