Everything
in one place.
Practical reading for current and prospective patients. Insurance, recovery, facility, and the cases and pieces that explain how we work.
Insurance & cost
Financing & Insurance
Many breast reconstruction and medically necessary procedures qualify for insurance. Our Patient Advocacy team verifies benefits, handles pre-authorization, fights denials, and provides a written estimate before any procedure. Financing options through CareCredit, Alphaeon, and Cherry for elective work.
Recovery
Aftercare program
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy, lymphatic drainage, Morpheus8, IV therapy, peptides, red light therapy, medical-grade skincare, and compression. Each service is available on-site through the wellness team and coordinated directly with your surgeon.
Surgical facility
Surgery Center
Every surgery happens in our own physician-owned, AAAHC-accredited surgery center, recognized by Newsweek as a top independent surgery center in California. Purpose-built for plastic and reconstructive procedures with dedicated staff.
Diagnostic care
Bedford Breast Center
Co-founded by Dr. Cassileth and Dr. Leslie Memsic. Imaging, genetic testing, nipple-sparing mastectomy, and treatment planning under one roof. Reconstruction handed off directly to Cassileth Plastic Surgery.
