Complete Women’s Imaging, led by Dr. Abraham Port, MD offers women in our community advanced digital technology for the screening and early diagnosis of breast cancer. To schedule an appointment, call (516) 255-8220

Advanced treatment, such as Mammosite Radiation Therapy System for breast cancer. A balloon connected to a catheter tube is placed in the breast where a radioactive “seed” is temporarily inserted twice daily for 5 days. The catheter is then removed and the treatment is complete. This short treatment course is particularly helpful for women with family obligations or who work full-time, the elderly, and patients who live far from a radiation treatment center.

Specialized services in gynecology and obstetrics. From gynecological procedures such as endometrial biopsies, colposcopies and urodynamic studies, to obstetric services including genetic counseling and amniocentesis, the Center complements – and serves as a conduit for – the advanced services and specialties of our Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
