I made an appointment at WV Imaging for my first ever mammogram. I wasn't super excited about going, but I am a lady who is nearing 40 so I decided to get the "first time" experience over with. Making an appointment and checking to see if WV accepted my insurance was easy with one quick phone call.
The exam itself was rather awkward and uncomfortable, but not painful. I was very thankful for my technician who was informative about the process, she was patient when I asked questions. She really tried to make me feel at ease the best she could. We even shared a few jokes during the procedure but she was remained professional the entire time.
My only gripe was that I didn't get to speak to a doctor about my results. The technician said that she showed my images to the doctor and he signed a paper saying my results were clean. WV does forward the images to the doctor of your choice so I guess I can ask my primary doctor the next time I see her.
See you next year West Valley Imaging!
