Mroz Baier Breast Care Clinic – The Mid-South’s Best Breast Care Clinic

Dr. Christine T. Mroz, MD

My forty five plus years of experience in diagnosing and treating breast cancer gives me the confidence to reassure most of my patients that they will survive breast cancer and go on to live normal lives. Better surgery and targeted chemotherapy treatments can offer years of survival even in the most aggressive forms of breast cancer.

About Us

Welcome to Mroz Baier

The healthcare professionals that make up the Mroz-Baier Family are eager to provide you with the very best breast care available. We realize that a referral to our office comes with much anxiety for the patient and her family, and we strive to care for patients’ physical needs as well as emotional ones. It is our goal to achieve excellence in this endeavor.

Our staff is comprised of two Breast Surgeons, both of whom read mammograms, perform and interpret ultrasounds, provide a full range of breast surgery, and offer testing options and counseling to patients. We also have a Psychiatric Family Nurse Practitioner to provide patient care. The Mroz-Baier Clinic employs certified, registered Mammography Technologists, who in addition to performing mammograms, also assist in stereotactic and ultrasound guided biopsies.

This facility is fully accredited by the American College of Radiology and by the US Food and Drug Administration. In August, 2009, Mroz-Baier Clinic received accreditation from the National Accreditation Program for Breast Center (NAPBC), which is a program administered by the American College of surgeons. This endorsement recognizes our clinic for being committed to the highest level of quality breast care.

Training Center

The Mroz Baier Breast Care Clinic dedicates this facility to Molly Meisenheimer in recognition of her wonderful example of never giving up and never giving in after being diagnosed with breast cancer. God gave her the inspiration to help others through the Susan G. Komen foundation. She has affected so many with her volunteer efforts by raising millions of dollars and helping thousands of women to be made aware of the proper preventive treatment.

The Molly Meisenheimer Training Facility expands the clinic’s commitment to education and clinical study. The facility was developed to be a teaching site for breast physicians in the use of modern technology including digital stereotactic needle core breast biopsy and the use of ultrasound as a diagnostic test. The facility also provides space and audiovisual equipment for frequent physician conferences.

The Mroz Baier Breast Care Center is a Fellowship Training Center for the Mayo Clinic. Their Breast Fellows come to our facility for imaging studies. Our center provides housing and instruction for the 6 to 8 week courses.

Dedication

Mroz Baier Clinic is dedicated to the memory of Julie Antoinette Bourgeois Baier (1943–1990), a remarkable wife, mother, teacher and friend. Before losing her fight with breast cancer, she had spent her life helping others. Her letters to Ann Landers and additional national publications helped start an awareness about breast disease and its proper care. She also pointed out that the breast is the only square inch of the body without a specialty.

Mroz Baier Clinic honors her wish that a center of excellence be established to provide patients with the treatment they need, expect and deserve. The clinic combines state of the art technology with state of the heart emotional support for patients with breast cancer.
