When you've received a breast cancer diagnosis or learned you're at high risk, this is where your care begins. The Advanced Breast Center brings together Lincoln's only fellowship-trained breast surgeon, dedicated nurse navigation, and a care team that stays with you from diagnosis through surgery and three years beyond.
Advanced Medical Imaging's women's center is the gold standard for breast healthcare in our community.
AMI has two centers for breast health, and knowing the difference gets you to the right team faster.
Annual 3D mammograms, breast MRI, ultrasound, and everything that keeps you ahead of breast cancer. No diagnosis needed, and you can request a screening mammogram yourself.
The Advanced Breast Center is where care begins when something has been found. Surgical consultation, individualized treatment, high-risk management, and follow-up care, all coordinated by one team.
At the Advanced Breast Center, we understand that every breast cancer journey is unique. That's why we provide compassionate, personalized care focused on timely diagnosis, individualized treatment options, and comprehensive follow-up care to help you achieve the best possible outcomes and quality of life after cancer.
When it comes to breast health, experience matters. Our multidisciplinary team includes Lincoln's only fellowship-trained breast surgeon, paired with Lincoln's only fellowship-trained breast radiologists. That expertise is complemented by our designation as Lincoln's only ACR Breast Center of Excellence, awarded by the American College of Radiology to centers that demonstrate the highest standards in breast imaging, diagnosis, and patient care. Together, our specialized physicians, advanced technology, and nationally recognized quality standards ensure you receive the highest level of specialized care, from screening through diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship.
"Our diagnostic radiologists are steps away from the breast and surgery centers, meaning women get answers and a plan faster."
Dr. Williams is Lincoln's only fellowship-trained breast surgeon. She completed her breast surgery fellowship at the Barbara Brodsky Comprehensive Breast Center in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, is certified by the American Board of Surgery, and is a member of the Society of Surgical Oncology, the American Society of Breast Surgeons, and the American College of Surgeons.
She specializes in surgical care for breast cancer, including lumpectomies, mastectomies, and lymph node procedures, and roots her practice in evidence-based medicine, compassionate care, and maximizing life after breast cancer. Her commitment doesn't end in the operating room: she takes care of her patients throughout their entire journey.

Our care extends beyond patients who have already been diagnosed. Through our High-Risk Clinic, led by Sam Hough, APRN, we specialize in caring for individuals at elevated risk of developing breast cancer. Sam meets with high-risk patients to provide education, guidance, and personalized care plans that support long-term health and prevention.
Our team partners with you and your healthcare provider to assess your individual risk, develop personalized screening recommendations, coordinate advanced imaging such as breast MRI when appropriate, and detect breast cancer as early as possible.
Our Advanced Breast Care Coordination Program offers a community-centered approach designed to guide you through every step of your breast health journey. Whether you're coming to us for additional imaging, a new diagnosis, or ongoing follow-up care, our dedicated team helps navigate the complexities of the healthcare system by coordinating appointments, removing barriers to care, and ensuring timely diagnosis, treatment, and support.
Kirsten Anderson, RN, serves as your consistent point of contact and advocate. She helps you understand your diagnosis and treatment options, coordinates appointments and resources, and makes sure you have what you need at every step, so you can move forward with confidence.
The Advanced Breast Center offers surgical consultation, genetic testing, lymphedema therapy, pain management, and coordination with every specialist your plan requires.
Our center cares for more than 400 patients every year. We use that experience to create highly specialized treatment plans for all types and stages of breast cancer.
The Advanced Breast Center is located inside Advanced Medical Imaging at 7601 Pioneers Blvd, steps away from imaging and the surgery center, so answers come faster.
At the Advanced Breast Center, caring for our patients means caring for the whole person, not just performing a successful surgery. Unlike other breast surgery practices in Lincoln, we continue to follow our surgery patients for three years after their procedure, providing ongoing surveillance, education, support, and coordination of care.
This long-term relationship allows us to monitor your recovery, address concerns as they arise, and remain a trusted partner throughout survivorship. Because to us, you're more than a diagnosis. You're family.
If you have questions about your care, our team is here for you.
