    Dr. Loretta Strachowski, who goes by Lori, is a radiologist who specializes in ultrasound and breast imaging with a focus in women's health. She served as chief of ultrasound at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center (ZSFGH) for 18 years before retiring from the role in 2017. She takes a hands-on approach to ultrasound – often administering scans herself – a practice she advises residents and fellows to emulate. Over the years, Strachowski has sought to reinforce radiologists' expertise in obstetrical ultrasound by upholding the highest clinical standards and emphasizing compassionate and timely patient care. She is a fierce advocate for obstetric care for underserved, high-risk patients, promulgating the value of exams that can help identify complex fetal abnormalities and complications of pregnancy. Strachowski's research has looked at ultrasound assessment of acute and cancerous gynecologic processes. Her work has been instrumental in promoting a standardized reporting system for findings in the ovaries to help assess the risk of malignancy and provide management recommendations. Strachowski co-founded the Avon Comprehensive Breast Care Program at ZSFGH. She served as the program's medical director for 10 years, promoting a variety of high-quality comprehensive services for women, including genetic counseling and testing; educational, outreach and support programs; and bilingual navigators to help every woman feel supported and empowered. She now splits her time doing breast imaging between ZSFGH and UCSF. To optimize patient outcomes, she advocates for an individually tailored approach to breast cancer treatment. Strachowski earned her medical degree from Rush Medical College. She completed a residency in diagnostic radiology at Stanford Medicine, followed by a fellowship in ultrasound at UCSF. Strachowski is a dedicated and highly regarded educator. She finds teaching future radiologists the tricks of the trade to be one of the most rewarding aspects of her work. In 2009, she received the Haile T. Debas Academy of Medical Educators' Excellence in Teaching Award. In 2012, residents in the UCSF diagnostic radiology program selected her to receive the Hideyo Minagi Outstanding Teacher Award. In 2014, 2018 and 2020, she was named the ZSFGH consultant of the year by the residents of the UCSF Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Sciences. She lectures locally, nationally and internationally, and is known for her enthusiastic teaching style, diagnostic pearls and visually impactful presentations. In her spare time, Strachowski enjoys experimenting with new recipes – saving the tried-and-true meals beloved by her two grown children and new son-in-law to lure them home to visit. She loves to travel and experience new cultures, especially if a breathtaking view, exotic meal or challenging hike is on the itinerary. Dr. Strachowski is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Carbuncle. Her top areas of expertise are Jaundice, Gallbladder Disease, Fibrocystic Breast Disease, and Breast Lump.

    What is the definition of Carbuncle?

    A carbuncle is a skin infection that often involves a group of hair follicles. The infected material forms a lump, which occurs deep in the skin and often contains pus.

    When a person has many carbuncles, the condition is called carbunculosis.

    When should I see a Carbuncle doctor near Berkeley, CA?

    There are various reasons why you may want to see a specialist, such as: 

    • Your primary care provider recommends it. 
    • Your condition requires expert knowledge and specialized care. 
    • Your symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment. 
    • You need specialized testing or procedures. 
    • You want a second opinion.  

    What should I consider when choosing a Carbuncle doctor near Berkeley, CA?

    It’s important to see a provider with expertise in your specific condition. Each provider profile in MediFind’s doctor database includes information on which conditions they treat, years of experience, research contributions, languages spoken, insurance plans accepted, and more.  

    How does MediFind rank Carbuncle doctors near Berkeley, CA?

    MediFind’s rankings are based on a variety of data sources, such as the number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials and industry conferences, as well as the number of patients that provider sees for a given condition. Note that MediFind’s provider database is not based on user reviews, and providers do not pay to be included in the database. 

    What types of insurance are accepted by Carbuncle doctors near Berkeley, CA?

    Most profiles in MediFind’s doctor database include a list of insurance plans accepted by that provider. However, it’s a good idea to contact the provider’s office to make sure they still accept your insurance, then doublecheck by contacting your insurance plan to confirm they’re in network. 

    How can I book an appointment online with a Carbuncle doctor near Berkeley, CA?

    MediFind offers direct scheduling for certain providers using the “Request Appointment” button on that provider’s profile. If the schedule option is not available for a provider, tap the red “Show Phone Number” button on their profile to get their contact information. If you prefer to find providers who offer online scheduling, select “Schedules online” under the “Availability” category of the filter feature on the left side of the Carbuncle doctor search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Carbuncle doctor?

    Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.   

    How can I prepare for my appointment with a Carbuncle doctor near Berkeley, CA?

    Prepare for your appointment by gathering the following items: 

    • Copies of medical records (dating back at least one year) 
    • Your medical history, including illnesses, medical conditions, surgeries, and other doctors you see 
    • Family history of disease 
    • List of current prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal remedies or supplements including names and doses 
    • Allergies to medications, food, latex, insects, etc.  
    • List of questions and concerns 
    • Your insurance card 

    You might also contact the provider’s office to see if they offer transportation or childcare services or if you’re allowed to bring a loved one for support or to take notes during your visit. 

    What questions should I ask my Carbuncle doctor?

    Here are some sample questions: 

    • Can you explain in simple terms what this condition is and how it’s treated? 
    • What symptoms or side effects should I watch for? 
    • What tests will be involved, and when can I expect results? 
    • Are there other specialists I need to see? 
    • What’s the best way to reach you if I have follow-up questions? 

    How can I learn about the latest clinical trials and research advances my Carbuncle doctor may know about?

    MediFind’s Clinical Trials tool asks you a series of questions to help you narrow down your search by health condition, age, gender, location, how far you’re willing to travel, and more. Each question you answer filters down the number of trials until you find the ones that are most relevant to you. 

    MediFind’s Latest Advances tool features summaries of recent articles published in medical journals. We use cutting-edge technology to scour medical publication databases for the latest research advancements on any given condition, then we simplify this information in a way that’s useful and easy to understand. 

    Can I filter my search to show male or female Carbuncle doctors near Berkeley, CA?

    Look for the filter feature on the left side of the Carbuncle doctor search results page. Select “Female” or “Male” under the “Gender” category to search for female or male providers exclusively. If the “Any” option is selected, it will pull results for both male and female providers. 

    Can I filter my search to find a Carbuncle doctor that offers video calls?

    Look for the filter feature on the left-side of the Carbuncle doctor search results page. Select “Offers telehealth visits” under the Availability category to search for providers who offer virtual appointments (video calls).
