Solis Mammography, a department of St. David's Round Rock Medical Center, is a dedicated breast imaging center serving the healthcare needs of women in Round Rock and surrounding communities. As part of the larger St. David's Round Rock Medical Center, Solis Mammography benefits from the resources and support of a full-service hospital while maintaining a specialized focus on breast health. The facility provides a welcoming environment designed to make patients feel comfortable and supported during their visits. With a commitment to compassionate care and clinical excellence, the team works to ensure that each patient receives personalized attention and thorough evaluation. The practice emphasizes the importance of early detection and preventive care as key components of women's health.
Solis Mammography offers a comprehensive range of breast imaging services to support women at every stage of life. The facility provides 2D and 3D mammography, also known as tomosynthesis, which allows for detailed imaging of breast tissue. Digital mammography is available for routine screening and diagnostic purposes. The center also performs breast ultrasounds, which can be used to evaluate areas of concern identified through physical examination or mammography. For patients requiring more specialized evaluation, stereotactic breast biopsies are conducted on-site, allowing for minimally invasive tissue sampling. The practice works closely with referring physicians to ensure that results are communicated promptly and that appropriate follow-up care is arranged when needed.
Solis Mammography helps with the detection and evaluation of various breast-related conditions. The facility supports routine breast cancer screening for women of all ages, particularly those over 40 or those with specific risk factors. Diagnostic imaging is available for patients experiencing breast pain, unusual changes in breast tissue, or other concerning symptoms. The practice assists in evaluating breast lumps, nipple discharge, and skin changes that may require further investigation. For women with a family history of breast cancer or other risk factors, the center provides imaging services that can be part of a comprehensive risk management plan. The team is experienced in working with patients who have dense breast tissue, which can sometimes make detection more challenging.

Patients from Williamson County and northern Travis County find the location practical for their healthcare needs.

At your first visit to Solis Mammography, you can expect a thorough and professional experience focused on your breast health. Upon arrival, you'll be greeted by friendly staff who will help you complete any necessary paperwork and answer initial questions. A certified mammographer will explain the imaging process and what to expect during your examination. For a mammogram, you'll be positioned by the technologist who will take care to ensure your comfort while obtaining the necessary images. The actual imaging process is quick, typically taking only a few minutes per view. If you're having a diagnostic study rather than a screening, the process may take a bit longer as additional images or ultrasound may be needed. Results are typically available within a few days, and the practice will communicate findings to both you and your referring physician. The team encourages patients to ask questions and share any concerns they may have about the process or their breast health.
Question: What should I bring to my first appointment at Solis Mammography?
Answer: For your first appointment, please bring a valid photo ID, your insurance card, and any relevant medical records or previous imaging results if available. If you're being seen for a diagnostic study rather than a screening, bring any referral forms from your physician. It's also helpful to wear comfortable two-piece clothing as you'll need to undress from the waist up for the examination. If you've had previous mammograms at another facility, having those records transferred in advance can be beneficial for comparison purposes.
Question: How often should I have a mammogram?
Answer: The recommended frequency of mammograms depends on your age, risk factors, and whether you're experiencing any symptoms. For women at average risk with no symptoms, annual screening mammograms are typically recommended starting at age 40. Women with higher risk factors, such as a family history of breast cancer or certain genetic markers, may need to begin screening earlier or have more frequent examinations. Your primary care physician or gynecologist can help determine the screening schedule that's appropriate for your individual situation.
