As one gets older, the number and variety of doctors one visits increases. This year, I added another kind of medical professional to my repertoire: a mammographer! Otherwise known as a person who performs a mammogram, and also known as a person who smashes your breasts and takes a picture of them.
Being a woman of a certain age, it had been recommended that I get a mammogram, and so I did. Luckily, Community Imaging Center Speedway made it super easy to set up an appointment. I made an appointment online, but I also could have called and talked to someone to set up an appointment. Then I found out that this imaging center offers walk-ins for mammograms during specific days and times. Nice! They are really doing a lot to make it easy for women and people with breasts to schedule their mammograms.
When I arrived, I didn't have to wait more than five minutes before I was called back. The mammographer explained everything she was going to do, explained every step along the way, and made sure I was as comfortable as possible. The whole process took maybe 10 to 15 minutes.
Ladies (and individuals with with breasts): If you need to get a mammogram, this imaging center in Speedway is a great option! Everyone I encountered was professional and warm, and you'll be in and out quickly, which is honestly the best part. read more
