Dr. Patricia Tepper

Dr Tepper received her BA in psychology from the University of Michigan and medical degree from Vanderbilt University Medical School. She completed a residency in diagnostic radiology and a fellowship in body CT and ultrasound at the University of Michigan. Dr Tepper’s special areas of expertise were mammography and breast MRI. She served as the medical director of the Tristar Centennial Women’s Health & Imaging Center until her retirement in 2019, and was instrumental in bringing breast tomosynthesis to Middle Tennessee. Her high standards for exceptional image quality influenced the technologists she worked alongside, and together, they were committed to the early detection of breast cancer.
