Westside Surgical Hospital is pleased to announce that construction has begun on the eagerly awaited breast center at the hospital. This landmark center will offer patients access to stereotactic breast biopsies, a 3D mammogram unit (breast tomosynthesis), 3D ultrasound, and bone density testing. This advanced imaging, combined with the hospital’s robust reconstructive surgery program sets the hospital apart and offers the ideal environment for early detection and treatment. Dr. Jay Shenaq will serve as the executive director for the center.

Through the establishment of the breast center, an IVF lab will also open, under the direction of Dr. Michael Heard. This IVF lab will offer pre-implantation genetic diagnosis as well as fertility preservation – the first of its kind in the greater Houston area. In addition, the center will house the Westside Surgical Hospital International Program, managed by its director, Mona Ghazal (mghazal@westsidesurgical.net).

Please stay tuned for more details as the center nears completion.
