Highlights
Dr. Carrie Rochman video profile
My name is Dr. Carrie Rochman, and I am a radiologist. My specialty is breast imaging. Beyond reading images, I also do breast procedures. So I do biopsies, and I do needle localizations for the breast surgeons at the time of a breast surgery. We also do a test called a galactogram. And we can do therapeutic interventions, such as cyst aspirations where we can treat a breast abscess. I was drawn to radiology because I also have an interest in art, and I worked for many years as an artist, and the visual aspect of radiology matches very well with the visual skills that I have as an artist. And then when I found breast imaging as a subspecialty, it really is the patients. The women that I serve are the reason that I do what I do. What we're really trying to strive to do at the UVA Breast Care Center is to create a very personalized approach to every patient, and not just have one-size-fits-all for screening recommendations and diagnosis, and their journey through the breast department, but it's very tailored to the individual based on her age, her family history, the physical composition of her breast, the breast density, and we're trying to make a very tailored, very patient-centric approach to every patient that we see. I think that cancer touches all of us, and cancers in my own family have definitely shaped my appreciation for the role of physicians and helping patients. I want to be there to help people they way that doctors have helped me and my family.
