Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Lake Pointe offers a comprehensive breast imaging center in Rowlett to assist with screening and diagnostic services. We are committed to the prevention, early detection and diagnosis of breast conditions, including breast cancer, through compassionate and coordinated care right here in our Rowlett community.
While our main focus is your breast health, we pride ourselves on making your experience as comforting as possible, providing you peace of mind before, during and after your appointment.
