Pathology Services, delivers trusted anatomic pathology services designed to provide clarity and confidence in every diagnosis. Our board-certified pathologists specialize in surgical pathology and post-mortem examinations, combining precision, expertise, and care to help healthcare providers make informed treatment decisions.
Our surgical pathology team carefully evaluates tissue specimens from biopsies, excisions, and other surgical procedures to identify disease and guide patient care. Every sample is managed with strict adherence to handling protocols for optimal accuracy.
Biopsies from separate sites should be placed in individual containers with 10% buffered formalin—approximately ten times the specimen’s volume. Ensure each container is tightly sealed and clearly labeled.
Large specimens must be fully immersed in 10% buffered formalin, ideally ten times their mass. The primary area of interest should be directly exposed to the fixative. Open and rinse bowel segments or uterine cavities as needed before preservation.
Specimens collected from different anatomical sites should always be submitted in separate, clearly marked containers to maintain diagnostic integrity.
Extremities, lymph nodes, kidneys, and other specialized biopsies may require tailored preparation or on-site evaluation. Contact a pathologist for handling instructions or to coordinate a scheduled visit.
When additional expertise is needed, challenging cases may be referred for outside consultation or specialized studies such as immunohistochemistry.
Certain items, including teeth, lenses, and surgical hardware, are documented with a gross description only.
Pathology Services is committed to providing accurate results and exceptional service. For specimen submission guidelines or consultation requests, please contact our team to learn more about our anatomic pathology services.
