The Breast Place is a licensed medical practice in North Charleston, South Carolina. While we are committed to providing excellent, compassionate care to our patients, the information made available on this website — including text, images, videos, and any other content — is intended solely for general educational and informational purposes.

This disclaimer outlines the limitations of the information on our website and explains your rights and responsibilities when accessing this content. Please read it carefully alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions.

01

Overview

The content published on thebreastplacesc.com is provided in good faith for educational purposes only. It is designed to help visitors learn about breast health, our services, and general wellness topics — not to provide clinical guidance tailored to any individual’s specific health situation.

By accessing this website, you acknowledge and agree that The Breast Place is not responsible for any actions you take based on the information found here, and that you will seek qualified professional medical advice before making any health-related decisions.

02

Not Medical Advice

The content on this website is not medical advice.

Nothing on this website should be interpreted as a diagnosis, treatment recommendation, prescription, or professional medical opinion. This applies to all written content, blog posts, service descriptions, patient stories, FAQs, and any other materials published here.

The content on this site does not cover all possible uses, precautions, interactions, or adverse effects of any medical procedures, medications, or treatments. Relying solely on this website to make medical decisions could result in harm.

You should always:

  • Consult a qualified and licensed physician or healthcare provider before starting or changing any treatment
  • Disclose your complete health history to any provider treating you
  • Follow the advice of your personal physician, not general information found online
  • Never stop or change prescribed treatment based on content found on this or any other website
03

No Doctor–Patient Relationship

Accessing or using this website, submitting a contact form, requesting an appointment online, or communicating with us through any digital channel does not establish a doctor–patient relationship between you and The Breast Place or any of its providers.

A formal doctor–patient relationship is only established when:

  • A provider at The Breast Place has agreed to accept you as a patient
  • You have completed the required intake and consent processes
  • An in-person or formally scheduled clinical consultation has taken place

Until a formal relationship is established, The Breast Place and its providers have no duty to follow up on any information you submit through this website, and any information you submit is not confidential in the same way as communications with an established provider.

Becoming a Patient

To establish care with The Breast Place, please call our office at (843) 797-1941 or book an appointment online. Our team will guide you through the new patient process.

04

Accuracy of Information

We strive to ensure that all content on this website is accurate, current, and consistent with accepted medical and scientific standards at the time of publication. However, the field of medicine — especially breast health, oncology, and surgical techniques — evolves rapidly.

We make no representation or warranty, express or implied, regarding the completeness, reliability, suitability, or accuracy of any information on this website. Specifically:

  • Medical guidelines and best practices may change after content is published
  • Information may not reflect the most recent research, clinical studies, or regulatory updates
  • General information may not apply to individual circumstances or health conditions
  • Descriptions of treatments and procedures are general in nature and may not reflect what is appropriate for you

We review and update our website content periodically, but we cannot guarantee that all content is current at any given time. Always verify information with a licensed healthcare provider.

05

Individual Results May Vary

Medical outcomes are deeply personal. Every patient is unique. Results from any procedure, treatment, or wellness program described on this website will differ from person to person based on age, overall health, genetic factors, lifestyle, adherence to care plans, and many other variables. No outcome is guaranteed.

Any descriptions of treatment results, surgical outcomes, or recovery timelines on this website represent general expectations based on clinical experience and should not be interpreted as a promise or guarantee of a specific outcome for any individual patient.

Before pursuing any treatment, we encourage all prospective patients to schedule a consultation with one of our providers to discuss realistic expectations specific to their own health and circumstances.

06

When to Seek Care

If you are concerned about any aspect of your health, do not rely on this website. Seek professional medical evaluation promptly. You should contact a healthcare provider or seek immediate care if you experience any of the following:

  • A new lump, thickening, or change in the shape or size of the breast
  • Unexplained pain in the breast or armpit area
  • Skin changes such as dimpling, redness, rash, or puckering
  • Nipple discharge, inversion, or other changes
  • Swelling in or around the breast, collarbone, or armpit
  • Any other symptom that concerns you, even if it seems minor

Don’t Wait

Early detection saves lives. If you notice any change in your breast health, please contact our office immediately at (843) 797-1941 or book an appointment online. Our team is here for you.

07

Specialist Referrals

While The Breast Place provides comprehensive breast care, some patients may require referral to or co-management with other specialists depending on their condition. Our providers will advise you appropriately during a clinical consultation. The following types of specialists may be involved in a complete breast health or cancer care plan:

Medical Oncologist

Specializes in cancer treatment using chemotherapy, hormone therapy, or targeted drug therapies.

Radiation Oncologist

Manages radiation therapy as part of a comprehensive breast cancer treatment plan.

Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon

Provides reconstructive options following mastectomy or other breast surgeries.

Genetic Counselor

Evaluates hereditary risk factors such as BRCA1/2 mutations and provides guidance for high-risk patients.

This list is not exhaustive. Your care team will discuss any referrals appropriate for your individual situation.

08

Third-Party Content

Our website may reference, link to, or display content from third-party sources including medical journals, health organizations, patient resources, or other external websites. Such references are provided for informational purposes only and do not constitute an endorsement by The Breast Place.

We have no control over third-party content and cannot guarantee its accuracy, completeness, or timeliness. Third-party health information should always be discussed with your own provider before acting on it.

Reliable Health Resources

For credible general health information, we recommend resources such as the American Cancer Society (cancer.org), the National Cancer Institute (cancer.gov), and the American Society of Breast Surgeons (breastsurgeons.org). These do not replace the advice of your personal physician.

09

Testimonials

Patient testimonials, reviews, or stories that may appear on this website represent the individual experiences of those specific patients and are shared with their permission. They are provided to illustrate the quality of care and compassion we strive to deliver — not to imply that any other patient will achieve the same experience or outcome.

Testimonials are not clinical evidence and should not be used as the sole basis for selecting a healthcare provider or deciding to pursue a particular treatment. Individual circumstances, health conditions, and responses to treatment vary significantly.

The Breast Place complies with applicable guidelines from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regarding the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising.
