GRACE Breast Imaging & Medical Spa: Redefining Women’s Health in Iowa
In the heart of Iowa, GRACE Breast Imaging & Medical Spa stands as a beacon of care and innovation, proudly holding the title of the only woman-owned and operated medical imaging center in the state. With a dedicated team of board-certified, fellowship-trained breast radiologists, GRACE is committed to providing comprehensive breast health exams, which include screening and diagnostic mammograms, breast ultrasounds, and image-guided procedures such as biopsies. In addition, patients can take advantage of genetic testing and consultations for personalized breast cancer risk assessments and screening plans.
At GRACE, the fusion of healthcare and self-care is paramount. Patients can complement their breast imaging appointments with rejuvenating medical spa treatments, including the signature Graceful Glow facial, chemical peels, and dermaplaning. This holistic approach ensures that every individual can prioritize their health while indulging in self-care, creating a comforting and supportive environment.
Though breast health issues primarily affect women—who are encouraged to begin annual mammography at 40—GRACE is designed to cater to all individuals. Whether young women, pregnant or nursing mothers, children, or men with breast-related concerns, the center prioritizes a welcoming atmosphere for everyone. This dedication to inclusivity ensures that even the most uncommon breast conditions are addressed by fellowship-trained experts with specialized knowledge.
What sets GRACE apart is its unwavering dedication to patient experience and quality care. As the only imaging center in central Iowa staffed entirely by fellowship-trained breast radiologists, GRACE guarantees the highest standard of breast health services. The center was meticulously designed by physicians who understand the patient journey, focusing on creating a serene environment that alleviates anxiety often associated with medical examinations. Their mission is simple: to transform healthcare into self-care and make timely evaluations of breast concerns accessible to everyone.
In the summer of 2024, GRACE Breast Imaging & Medical Spa proudly became a member of the Clive Chamber of Commerce. The decision to join was fueled by the desire to connect with fellow entrepreneurs and strengthen community ties. The chamber hosted GRACE’s Ribbon Cutting and Grand Opening, an event that marked a significant milestone in the clinic’s journey. Since joining, the team has embraced opportunities to engage with local businesses through networking events, and they are excited to participate in community activities like Trick-or-Treat this month.
The inception of GRACE Breast Imaging & Medical Spa is rooted in the shared vision of its founders, Dr. Andrea Lamphiear and Dr. Rachel Preisser. With a profound understanding of the needs in central Iowa—where less than 5% of radiologists hold fellowship training in breast imaging—they set out to establish a dedicated center. Their goal was to ensure every patient receives expert care from professionals who are attuned to the nuances of breast health.
Dr. Andrea Lamphiear and Dr. Rachel Preisser
Dr. Lamphiear, who returned to Iowa after personal loss, recognized the gap in specialized breast health services. This inspired her and Dr. Preisser to create an environment focused solely on breast imaging, allowing for personalized care that is often lacking in larger healthcare facilities. By emphasizing patient comfort and comprehensive evaluation, GRACE is redefining the experience of breast health.
For patients, the best part of choosing GRACE is the assurance of quality and compassionate care. The center strives to make what can be an uncomfortable experience into something more enjoyable, integrating spa services with medical appointments to create a holistic experience. They aim to eliminate barriers to accessing essential breast health services, fostering peace of mind for every patient who walks through their doors.
