Breast Care and General Surgery Program

At the Orlando Health Women’s Pavilion – Winter Park, our experienced surgical team within the Breast Care and General Surgery Program offers care designed just for the unique needs of women. Our specialists provide compassionate, expert surgical services for women age 18 and up. We specialize in treating a variety of conditions, including breast cancer or suspected breast cancer. All of our patients are referred to us by another care provider, such as a primary care doctor or gynecologist.

Streamlined Surgical Services, Built for Women

Working in close collaboration with other specialty providers within the Orlando Health Women’s Pavilion, such as internal medicine [link to Internal Medicine page within this section] and OB/GYN [link to OB/GYN page within this section], we take a proactive approach to assessing a woman’s risk for breast cancer and then work quickly to make a diagnosis and care plan, when needed. In a single visit to the Orlando Health Women’s Pavilion, you can be seen by your internal medicine doctor, undergo a mammogram and then follow up with a breast care surgeon in the case of any troublesome findings. Having access to streamlined healthcare can help you be seen more quickly and make it easier for your healthcare team to work together effectively to help you get on your road to optimal health.
