Founded by renowned plastic & reconstructive surgeon, Dr. Lisa Cassileth and breast surgeons Dr. Heather Richardson and Dr. Leslie Memsic, Bedford Breast Center is widely recognized for its pioneering contributions to breast surgery and commitment to delivering concierge-level care in a modern, luxury setting. Bedford Breast Center is the only facility in California to offer both Vera Scan Breast CT and Contrast-Enhanced Mammography (CEM), two of the most advanced screening modalities available. These technologies allow for earlier, more precise detection, redefining diagnostic breast imaging.

A New Chapter in Radiology

Bedford Breast Center proudly names Dr. Lakshmi Tegulapalle as Head of Radiology. A board-certified expert in breast imaging, Dr. Tegulapalle brings a patient-first philosophy and deep diagnostic expertise to Bedford's radiology department.

A Partnership with Purpose: Supporting The Breasties

As part of its philanthropic commitment this October, Bedford Breast Center is proud to partner with The Breasties, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting individuals affected by breast and gynecologic cancers. In alignment with Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Bedford will donate 10% of revenue from screening mammograms throughout October to The Breasties, helping fund community programs, retreats, and advocacy efforts that empower survivors, previvors, stage 4 thrivers, and caregivers nationwide. This partnership reflects Bedford's belief that breast care extends beyond the clinic, it's about connection, compassion, and collective impact.
