Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia, a condition that affects men and boys, is characterized by the enlargement of breast tissue. This often leads to self-consciousness and discomfort.

FRC is a fantastic organization and place to have your radiological and diagnostic needs taken care of. The staff are very professional, courteous and knowledgeable. I especially like the ability to get the reports on-line. I have used the Woodburn and Arlington Boulevard  facilities. They are great. The new check-in process at Woodburn is an excellent idea eliminating the lines in front of the check-in windows. Keep up the great work – nice having you here!!!!!
 
THANK YOU!
