A second pathology review can provide added confidence when a diagnosis is difficult, unusual, or likely to affect an important treatment decision. Our board-certified pathologists offer independent consultation supported by relevant subspecialty expertise.
A second opinion may be appropriate when findings are ambiguous, the clinical picture and pathology do not align, a rare diagnosis is being considered, or confirmation is desired before major treatment. Referring physicians may also request review when they need access to a particular area of expertise.
Contact our team before sending a consultation. Submission requirements may include:

The final consultation report is returned through an approved secure channel, and the pathologist is available to discuss the interpretation with the referring provider.
