Book Your Digital Mammography Appointment
Booking your digital mammography exam
You will need a referral from your doctor or specialist.
To book your appointment:
Have your referring doctor or specialist complete all sections of our Digital Mammography Form.
Call 604-987-9729, and press 1 to book an appointment. We suggest that, if possible, you schedule your appointment the week following your period, as tenderness and breast discomfort are often reported during the week prior.
If you have had a previous mammogram, please let us know where it was done so we can obtain these images before your appointment date.
If you have breast implants, please let our staff know when booking your appointment. We will perform the regular mammogram as well as the “implant displacement views.”
Bring the completed Digital Mammography Form and your BC CareCard with you to your appointment.
Preparing for your mammogram appointment
A few guidelines:
Do not wear perfume, deodorant, talcum powder or lotion under your arms or on your breasts. These can appear on the mammograms as calcium spots.
Wear a two-piece outfit.
Arrive 10 minutes before your scheduled appointment.
