Womens Imaging & Intervention (WII) is committed to providing individualized, innovative, healthcare to our patients. Our center offers treatment of the whole person, including breast and other imaging services. Our Radiologists, Dr. Amy Thurmond, Dr. Robert Seapy and Dr. Maureen Baxter have been community leaders in women’s imaging for over 30 years. The Radiologists, as well as the Technologists, are closely involved in the diagnostic exam of each patient. WII is unique in that most mammograms are read by the Radiologist at the time of the appointment with results given to the patient the same day if requested. If additional imaging is being recommended, this can be scheduled while the pateint is present or, time permitting, performed on the same day.
