Overview
About
Darcy Jo Eastwood, M.D. is a breast surgical oncologist dedicated to providing compassionate, collaborative, and deeply personalized care. Her journey into medicine began during college while shadowing a neurosurgeon, an experience that revealed the profound, life-changing impact a physician can have on a patient's life. Today, she brings that same sense of purpose to breast cancer care, ensuring her patients feel comfortable, thoroughly informed, and fully supported at every stage of their health journey.
Dr. Eastwood believes in treating the whole person rather than just the diagnosis. She blends an evidence-based clinical approach with a deep respect for each patient’s unique goals and values. Valuing the highly multidisciplinary nature of breast oncology, she works hand-in-hand with her patients and their broader medical teams to foster clear communication, shared decision-making, and total confidence in the path forward.

Imaging test using contrast dye to evaluate breast ducts for abnormalities, often used to investigate nipple discharge.
Service
Genetic Risk Evaluation and Testing (GREAT) Program
Empowering communities through cancer genetic education: Innovating access for all.
Diagnosis
Breast Sonography and Ultrasound
Non-invasive imaging uses sound waves to evaluate breast tissue, detect abnormalities, and guide biopsies for accurate diagnosis.
Diagnosis
LDEX Lymphedema Assessment and Measurement
Non-invasive test using bioimpedance to detect and monitor fluid buildup for early lymphedema diagnosis and management.
Diagnosis
Needle Breast Biopsy
A needle biopsy uses a thin needle to remove tissue from a breast lesion for diagnosis, offering a minimally invasive alternative to surgery.
Diagnosis
Stereotactic Needle Biopsies
A minimally invasive procedure using imaging guidance to obtain tissue samples for accurate diagnosis of abnormalities.
Diagnosis
Clinical Breast Exam
A clinical breast exam is a physical check by a healthcare provider to detect lumps or changes in breast tissue for early cancer detection.
Treatment
Abscess Drainage
A minor procedure to remove pus from an infected area, relieving pain and promoting healing of the affected tissue.
Treatment
Cyst Aspiration
A minimally invasive procedure using a needle to drain fluid from a cyst, relieving discomfort and aiding diagnosis.
Treatment
Skin Biopsies

Lymphedema Screening and Prevention Program
Early detection and education help reduce lymphedema risk, improve outcomes, and support long-term limb health in at-risk individuals.
Treatment
Oncoplastic Tissue Rearrangement
Combines cancer surgery with plastic surgery techniques to preserve breast shape and appearance after tumor removal.
Treatment
Radical Excision of Metastatic Lesions
Surgical removal of cancerous tumors that have spread to other parts of the body to control disease and improve survival.
Treatment
Second Opinion Consultation
A second opinion consultation provides expert review of a diagnosis or treatment plan to ensure accuracy and explore alternative options.
Treatment
Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy
A minimally invasive procedure to identify and remove the first lymph node(s) cancer is likely to spread to, aiding in cancer staging and treatment.
Treatment
