Ease, comfort, expert staff and state-of-the-art capabilities — that’s what a woman expects from the team helping her to manage her breast health. At Little Company of Mary, we take a holistic approach to the healing process. Here, a range of specialists, surgeons, radiation and medical oncologists, counselors and tools come together to create a single gateway for breast wellness.
Full Range of Diagnostics and Care
Our continuum of care includes treatments for breast cancer as well as other conditions including nipple discharge, breast pain, abnormal mammograms, new or suspicious breast lumps and benign breast changes. Our diagnostic tools include breast ultrasound, breast MRI, and MRI-guided breast biopsy and digital mammography. And, with breast conserving advances like DynaCAD for more precise biopsies and Mammosite�(r) for shorter, more accurate breast radiation treatment; procedures that once took months can now be done in just a few days.
Renowned Fellowship-Trained Female Breast Surgeon
Our staff includes the only fellowship-trained female breast surgeon in Chicago’s southwest area. Trained at the Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, Dr. Olga Ivanov found breast surgery an appealing field because it allows her to offer so much hope and reassurance to her patients. "Breast cancer has an extremely high survival rate with an excellent chance for a high quality of life," says Dr. Ivanov.

In addition to top-notch doctors, the Center offers a warm private environment as well as valet parking and convenient appointment times including evenings and weekends.
