ABOUT US
Downey Breast Center was established in 1986 by Dr Zareen Faiz. Downey Breast Center is mainly oriented toward the diagnosis of breast disease. We have a low dose mammography unit for breast cancer detection. Another important diagnostic tool is ultrasound for lump evaluation. The mammograms are performed by professionally trained staff. During ultrasound exams, each patient undergoing ultrasound receives individual evaluation of her risk factors, instruction on self-examination, and a thorough breast exam by Dr. Faiz. We are providers for the “Early Detection” program. This program provides free mammograms, ultrasounds, surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy as indicated. The program is for low income, uninsured women, and those with a high deductible. At Downey Breast Center, follow up is very important. We have a recall system where the patient is informed by mail and personal phone call to return for a check-up. Downey Breast Center is located at 8301 Florence Ave., Suite 101 in Downey. Please call 526-862-2778 for further information.
Downey Breast Center has been awarded a three-year term of accreditation in mammography as the result of a recent review by the American College of Radiology (ACR). Mammography is a specific type of imaging test that uses a low-dose X-ray system to examine breasts. A mammography exam, called a mammogram, is used to aid in the early detection and diagnosis of breast diseases in women.
The ACR gold seal of accreditation represents the highest level of image quality and patient safety. It is awarded only to facilities meeting ACR Practice Parameters and Technical Standards after a peer-review evaluation by board-certified physicians and medical physicists who are experts in the field. Image quality, personnel qualifications, adequacy of facility equipment, quality control procedures and quality assurance programs are assessed. The findings are reported to the ACR Committee on Accreditation, which subsequently provides the practice with a comprehensive report that can be used for continuous practice improvement.
MEET OUR RADIOLOGIST
Zareen Faiz, M.D. is a breast dedicated radiologist who is raising public awareness about breast cancer and early detection.
ABOUT DR FAIZ
Dr Zareen Faiz is the director of Downey Breast Center in Downey, CA. She devotes her entire practice to breast imaging and the early detection of breast cancer. Dr. Faiz started her residency in Radiology at Wilmington Medical Center , and completed her residency in Nuclear Medicine at UC Davis. She is a member of RSNA, and belongs to Soroptimist International of the Americas (Women Helping Women).
"It is my lifetime goal to make a difference in how breast disease is treated. Breast cancer statistics show that one in seven women will develop breast cancer. However, the good news is it can be 100% curable if detected early. Yearly follow up exams are very important, as well as lifestyle, diet, and weight control. I would like to see a new specialty emerge that would be dedicated to the care, diagnosis, and treatment of breast disease. It should be one point of contact where the patient can ask questions and total care is provided. I am waiting for a time where there will be no metastatic cancer of the breast and no one will die from breast cancer."
In her spare time Dr Faiz enjoys traveling to exotic places, attending her church, and spending time with her grandchildren.
