Sophya Seda
Getting a mammogram can be stressful, both physically and emotionally. That is why a technologist like Sophya Seda, Lead Mammography Technologist at Mount Sinai West, is such a welcome presence for her patients.
“We are fortunate to have Sophya on our team,” says Myra Rosa, Practice Manager of the Radiology Department at Mount Sinai West. “Just the way she speaks to patients puts them at ease.”
Courtney Thompson, a patient at MSW, could not agree more. “I recently arrived for an early morning mammogram, only to discover my insurance coverage was not active. This situation compounded my usual pre-mammogram anxiety, as I thought I might have to reschedule. Sophya was so calm and so in control, I was quickly reassured. She managed to get through to the right people at my insurance company so I could have my test as planned, on time.
Plus, she expertly guided me through the new 3D process. I felt totally taken care of.” Sophya says she is just grateful to be a part of the experience for her patients. “I love what I do”, she says. “Being there for my patients is near and dear to my heart.”
