Is it better to have a radiologist place my port?

My breast surgeon placed mine. No issues

I had not heard of that.

This just happened for me

Radiologist put mine in on Tuesday. Wed. It’s infected. 🥲

I had an interventional radiologist place my port at MD Anderson. No issues at all.

Breast surgeon placed a Bard power port. Just got it out after 5 months.

Just had one put in today by radiologist. The nurse was telling me they do 3-4 a day on average - lots of Experience.

Many patients find that interventional radiologists have specialized expertise in port placement procedures, and it's absolutely reasonable to ask about your options when discussing this with your medical team. The most important thing is that you feel confident in whoever is performing the procedure, so don't hesitate to ask about the experience and credentials of the person who would be placing your port, whether that's a radiologist, surgeon, or other qualified professional.
