Discovering a mass in your patient is one of the most trying moments in a physician’s career, and often these superficial masses cannot be diagnosed by a physical exam or imaging studies alone. Dr. Celina Nadelman offers a quick, relatively painless and cost-effective solution by offering outpatient fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsies in a compassionate yet professional setting. In addition, she can give a preliminary diagnosis within 24 hours, thus allowing you to assuage your patient’s anxiety and fears. Dr. Nadelman guarantees superior diagnostic results by immediately evaluating the thyroid or breast biopsy material as the patient waits!

Why choose us…
Because Dr. Nadelman is both a clinician and a pathologist, she is able to
1) Perform the biopsy
2) Immediately evaluate the specimen in her adjoining lab. Providing both services under one roof offers patients a one-stop, seamless experience, as well as a fast and accurate diagnosis.
Most doctors send their biopsy samples out to a pathology lab, meaning they—and their patients —must wait for an evaluation and diagnosis. We do it all in one office, with one team, usually within one day.
There are only about a dozen specialists like Dr. Nadelman in the entire U.S. She has performed over 12,000 FNAs. She has one of the highest rates of obtaining “diagnosable” samples on the first effort, virtually eliminating the need for repeat biopsies.
Highly aware of the concern many patients have when they arrive in her office, Dr. Nadelman is known for her caring manner. She is consistently praised by both patients and doctors for her kindness and compassion.
When you choose us, you’re making the choice to take a step up to superior care.
