What kind of physician should i see for a breast exam or mammogram?

OB/GYN or PCP: Your ob/gyn doctor or your primary care physician should be able to take care of that for you.

Startwith family doc: Most women start with their family doctor or other primary care provider. Following a clinical breast exam a screening mammogram is recommended for most women starting at age 40. Depending on the results you may be referred to a clinical breast radiologist or surgeon for further work-up.

Do you have: a lump? Probably a breast surgeon would be best. Otherwise, your OB/GYN or other primary care physician would be able to perform a breast exam and order a mammogram if needed.
