About Dr. Saad Farooq
**Please note: Screening mammograms are restricted to patients age 40 years and older with no breast symptoms. If you are younger than 40 or have any breast concerns, please contact your doctor or schedule an appointment with our breast specialist, Dr. Tiffany Sinclair. Screening mammogram patients also do not have an in-person appointment with Dr. Saad Farooq. The interpreting radiologist for the mammogram, most often Dr. Saad Farooq, will send a finalized report to the patient’s doctor and to the patient directly.**
Dr. Saad Farooq is a fellowship-trained, board-certified diagnostic radiologist. He graduated from the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine and completed his residency in diagnostic radiology at Hemet Global Medical Center. He later completed a rigorous yearlong fellowship in breast imaging and intervention at UCLA – Harbor.
Dr. Farooq has been in private practice since completing his training in Southern California. As a breast-imaging specialist, he interprets all breast imaging modalities, including screening and diagnostic mammograms, breast ultrasounds, and breast MRI. Dr. Farooq is also proficient in image-guided procedures, including ultrasound-guided core biopsies, stereotactic biopsies, MRI-guided biopsies, abscess drainage and pre-surgical localization procedures.
In his spare time, Dr. Farooq enjoys spending time with his wife and their 2-year-old daughter.
