The Robert and Helen Appel Comprehensive Breast Service at Beth Israel Medical Center is dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of women with breast cancer. The Appel Service emphasizes patient care and clinical research, with a commitment to community education, screening, early detection, rehabilitation, and emotional support.

Our comprehensive approach includes a multidisciplinary team of radiologists, surgeons, pathologists, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, plastic surgeons, nurses, social workers, and psychiatrists. All of our health care professionals work together to deliver quality, compassionate care to women who have breast cancer.

One of our goals is to provide you with the highest quality treatment while minimizing the time you must be away from your loved ones. Our Day Surgery Program was created with this objective in mind. In the Day Surgery Program, surgical procedures that do not require an overnight stay are performed so patients can come into the hospital in the morning and be home the same evening.

In addition, we are committed to providing surgery that preserves the breast whenever possible. We will help you evaluate all your post-surgical treatment options, including breast reconstruction by board certified plastic surgeons. Your surgeon will discuss these options with you.
