October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month – Schedule Your Mammogram Today!

We understand how hard it can be to prioritize your health, but getting a mammogram should be at the top of your list. Mammograms can detect breast cancer early, even before symptoms like a lump appear. Early detection is key because it makes treatment more effective.

At Highland Woods Health, we offer convenient, 20-minute screening mammograms at our Panther Creek clinic. Our advanced 3D mammography system provides a personalized experience for every woman. It features an intelligent compression system for added comfort and delivers more accurate detection with 30% less radiation than many other machines.

All mammograms at Highland Woods Health are interpreted by radiologists at The Breast and Imaging Center, led by Dr. Mahesh Shetty, a renowned expert in women’s imaging and a Clinical Professor of Radiology at Baylor College of Medicine. With over 22 years of experience and having interpreted more than 150,000 mammograms, Dr. Shetty is dedicated to providing top-quality care for our patients.

Don’t wait—schedule your mammogram today and take a proactive step for your health: Schedule Online.

Get Ready for Camp and Sports with a Physical Exam!

Summertime is just around the corner, and Highland Woods Health is excited to help you and your loved ones make the most of it! As the school year winds down, many children and teenagers are eagerly looking forward to summer camps, sports leagues, and other outdoor activities. To ensure their health and safety during these exciting adventures, we strongly recommend scheduling a camp and sports physical exam.

Camp and sports physical exams play a crucial role in evaluating your child’s readiness and overall well-being before engaging in these activities. Our medical team will assess your child’s physical development and identify any underlying medical conditions that could potentially impact your child’s participation or increase their risk of injury during physical activities.

Summer camps and sports leagues often require specific immunizations for participant safety. During the physical exam, we can review your child’s immunization status and ensure they are up to date, providing peace of mind for both you and the organizers.

To ensure your child’s readiness for an action-packed summer, we kindly invite you to contact our clinic and schedule a camp and sports physical exam at your earliest convenience. Our friendly staff will assist you in finding a suitable appointment that fits your schedule.

At Highland Woods Health, we are dedicated to keeping your family healthy, active, and ready to embrace the summer fun ahead. Let us partner with you to ensure your child’s well-being while they enjoy the great outdoors!

We look forward to serving you and your family.

Best of Health,

Highland Woods Health

 

Cervical Health Awareness Month

This January, we are reminding our patients about the importance of maintaining healthy cervical health. Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable forms of cancer, and regular screenings and vaccinations can go a long way in preventing it.

If you are due for a cervical cancer screening or HPV vaccination, we encourage you to schedule an appointment with one of our providers. Together, we can work towards a future where cervical cancer is a thing of the past.
