Mammography Results Called into Question at Greenbrier Clinic

Patients at The Greenbrier Clinic in White Sulphur Springs, WV, are now being told that mammography services performed over a stretch of more than two years may not have met required quality standards, a development that has raised obvious concerns about delayed diagnoses and patient safety.

According to a letter sent by the clinic’s radiologist, Dr. Henry Setliff, there’s “serious concern” about the quality of mammography performed between October 28, 2023, and February 26, 2026.

The clinic also told patients that the FDA required it to stop performing mammography as of February 26 after regulators found the facility failed to meet required clinical image quality standards tied to accreditation requirements.

Mammograms are one of the main screening tools used to detect breast cancer early, often before symptoms appear. Regular screening can reduce breast cancer mortality by identifying tumors when they are more treatable, which is exactly why any lapse in image quality gets people’s attention fast.

If a patient received a mammogram during that period and relied on those results, the question now is whether the imaging was good enough to support a reliable reading in the first place.

The clinic’s notice doesn’t state that every mammogram result from that period was wrong.

In fact, the letter specifically states that prior results are not definitively incorrect.

Still, the clinic is urging affected patients to speak with their healthcare providers as quickly as possible to discuss the mammogram or mammograms they had there and determine whether follow-up imaging or re-evaluation is needed. The notice also advised patients to seek care from other certified facilities while the clinic works to correct the problem and pursue renewed accreditation from the American College of Radiology.

MetroNews also reported that The Greenbrier did not respond to its request for comment.

From a medical malpractice standpoint, the core issue isn’t whether the outcome was disappointing or upsetting. The real question is whether the clinic or its staff fell below the accepted standard of care and whether that failure caused actual harm.

For now, the biggest fact is simple and unsettling. A trusted clinic has told patients that breast imaging performed between late 2023 and early 2026 may not have been reliable enough to meet federal and accreditation standards.

That alone warrants serious concern and potential legal follow-up.
