* Personalized guidance with the help of Nurse Navigators. Under this model, a specific nurse will follow a patient throughout their course of treatment, from their initial visit through their discharge from the hospital. These nurses are responsible for hands-on activities such as wound checks and pre/post-operative counseling.
* A state-of-the-art, convenient-to-use facility. Oncology, a pharmacy and infusion services are all in the same building as Breast Care Specialists of Maine. Clinical trials, genetic testing, nutrition counseling and social workers are all available, as well, making it more convenient and private for patients to access services.
* Rapid access to top-quality services. Test results are provided to the referring physician quickly and accurately. When cancer is detected, an appointment is scheduled within 48 hours.
Breast Care Specialists of Maine has been on the forefront of breast care treatment since 1996, when Dr. Molin founded the program. The center itself has a comfortable, homey atmosphere and is designed with patient privacy and comfort in mind. There is a back door to the mammography area from the center's offices. Minor procedures and counseling take place right at the center; everything from surgical biopsy to coordinated mastectomy with breast reconstruction is performed next door at the Fore River Hospital.
