RUN DON"T WALK HERE!!!!!!! This place was absolutely INCREDIBLE! If I could give it 10 stars, I would. My friend and I were passing through Santa Rosa and decided to see if they could fit us in for an appointment, and they did. The place was warm, and the owner, Renee Russo was kind, informative and VERY knowledgeable. She gave us so much incredible, CREDIBLE and empowering information, on how breast thermogram, how it works and we were able to see the photos of our breasts right in the room as it was taken, with her going over and educating us on what how they are read by the doctor, early detection, etc. The results would be emailed along with practitioner information that helps with breast heath, etc. She then explained how we would be contacted with the results in two weeks and they would email us and go over all of the results with us. She then spoke about other case studies and showed photos of other scan where women used the early detection to detect and treat cancer, and how it saved their lives. She shared a variety of tools on how to keep your breasts healthy in a number of ways and gave us information that again was SO INFORMATIVE AND EMPOWERING. Along with a yearly ultrasound, I will be getting the breast thermogram every year to stay on top of breast health. This was SO different than the traditional cold, uninvolved Western model of mammography we as women are used to. I felt truly heard, and working side by side in charge of my own health as a women. i cannot say enough amazing things about this place! Thank you Renee!!!

I am inspired and grateful to have access to this amazing technology that seems light years ahead of the more traditional mammogram service. Owner and Founder, Renee Russo makes the whole experience feel empowering, light -hearted, EASY and very informative. Compared to the traditional "boob smashing and cold metal instruments" this is so refreshingly EASY, noninvasive and affirming of knowing your body and having the power to monitor changes way before anything of concern has developed. You just have seven easy pictures taken in a matter of minutes you're done. Your results are discussed with you within a couple weeks. More time is spent educating and connecting with you then any medical doctor I've been to. I left Renne's office feeling clear on how to better take care of myself to minimize the risk of breast cancer or other health issues. I love that I have a clear way to track changes if they should occur. Every woman should do this for herself and encourage all her friends to do so as well. This is the best proactive measure you can take for sure!

Thank goodness Thermography is available to us in Sonoma County! Such a simple, empowering way to monitor breast health, and motivate ourselves to do better. The pictures are fascinating, beautiful color maps of the temperatures of the breasts, which show any areas of inflammation. If there is inflammation, it could be due to a range of health conditions, and often will show up years before anything serious develops. There are also black and white images, showing blood vessels, where certain hormonal patterns can be revealed, giving valuable information about any potential imbalances. As a Lymphatic Therapist, specializing in breast care, I see women with many different conditions, and Thermography is an incredible tool to investigate what's causing particular symptoms, as well as to monitor treatment progress. When I went in for my first scan, I was a little nervous. Even though I live a pretty healthy lifestyle, I couldn't help wondering if the scan would turn up something unpleasant. However, Renée put me right at ease with her professional but down to earth demeanor, and just the right amount of humor. I am grateful for the information I received and I am so glad Renée and Jenna do what they do. With their knowledge, compassion and humility, these ladies are truly local treasures. Don't wait, get your scan and take a peek at what's going on with your precious mammaries!

I had my first and last mammogram seven years ago, when I was 45. I couldn't see how squishing my breasts between those plates would lead to better health. I knew there had to be another way. . . . So I was very grateful when I discovered the Thermography Center of Sonoma County. Renee greeted me personally at the door and escorted me into a wonderfully warm, feminine, and supportive environment. The thermography experience was completely painless, and it did reveal a little hot spot on my left breast that a mammogram never would have caught. It's nothing terrible; just a good wake-up call for me to take a little better care of myself. While waiting for my breasts to "cool down" enough to be scanned, Renee talked with me at length about breast health and offered information I never would have gotten in an MD's office. She taught me a self-massage technique to promote lymphatic drainage that is much more effective and enjoyable than a monthly self-exam. I left the thermography center feeling more empowered and informed than when I arrived. If you don't want to go through a mammogram or need to get a different perspective on a big decision you need to make around your breast health, make an appointment with the ladies at this center. I think you'll be glad you did.

Accompanied my wife for her exam and Renee completely diffused any awkwardness for me in the exam room. Her explanations of the process and what they'd be looking for flowed and led to the next part of the process. I didn't select five stars to let her know there is room for improvement although I don't know where.

Renee and the Thermography Center of Sonoma County is a blessing in my life. I had been curious about Breast Thermography for years and finally decided to pursue it with this center. From the initial interactions over phone and email, I knew that it would be a good experience. They were so thorough with their instructions and paperwork, and as a practitioner in the health care field I can appreciate as a patient and a colleague. In the first visit, Renee spent some time and explained so much to me, everything from how Thermography works, to success stories with before and after photos, to lymphatic massage and life-style suggestions. I felt so safe, taken care of and educated that I immediately started referring all of my women clients to the center. I am grateful to have this modality available here in Santa Rosa and am pleased to have it as a resource for preventative breast health for myself and my patients. Great Job!

I just completed my second thermogram with the Thermography Center. I am so thankful to have found this service. Renee & Jenna are so knowledgeable about what they do and are encouraging and supportive. By following a couple of their simple suggestions/guidelines for only 6 months, there has been marked improvement in my breast health. I have such a peace of mind now! This service provides an excellent means by which to measure and monitor breast health - PAINLESSLY AND RISK FREE! After researching the risks of mamograms, I decided not to ever have one. I am so glad to have found a safe and painless way to monitor my breast health.
