Pathologists are the doctors who care for patients by
using the tools of laboratory medicine to provide information
essential to the diagnosis of disease.
If you’ve ever had a biopsy
taken, the review and evaluation of that tissue sample
is an example of the kind of work that pathologists do.
For women, Pap smears are screened by Cytotechnologists and reviewed
by a pathologist if the diagnosis is abnormal.
Pathologists can have different expertise and specialties.
And of course, training and experience varies widely within
the world of pathologists.
With the internet age, patients are becoming much more
informed about the pathology choices available to them.
Days are gone where patients quietly submit to testing
without questioning who interprets the results or how they
perform their interpretation.
OncoDiagnostic
Laboratory, Inc. is a specialty laboratory servicing Anatomic Pathology.
Anatomic Pathology is the analysis and interpretation of cells and tissue obtained from biopsies and minor surgeries.
Our expertise, training, and equipment

our specialty.)
Common tissue cases that we see include:
