About This Location
BJC Medical Group Breast Care Consultants is a unique practice and the only breast specialty surgery practice at Missouri Baptist Medical Center. Their expert providers know that a cancer diagnosis is an extremely stressful time, so they offer any newly-diagnosed breast cancer patients an appointment within 24-48 hours of diagnosis. Because our newly-renovated practice is located adjacent to the breast center, our patients can walk directly into the breast center for their imaging. Additionally, we coordinate breast cancer surgery with the plastic surgeons so all necessary procedures can be performed in one, singular surgery. Knowledgeable physicians are at your fingertips, so schedule your appointment today.
