Pathology & Laboratory Services

Waiting for a medical diagnosis for your child can feel scary. Our team of Pathology and Laboratory Services experts are here to help you find answers.

About Us

A provider may refer your child for laboratory testing to learn more about their condition and determine the appropriate treatment options. These diagnostic laboratory services may involve taking samples such as blood, urine, tissue and other bodily fluids.

Our board-certified pediatric pathologists and laboratory specialists are trained to work alongside physicians to make and confirm diagnoses. They are also involved in identifying the appropriate laboratory testing options for your child. Specially trained phlebotomy staff collect blood samples, while board-certified medical laboratory scientists and medical laboratory technologists process and analyze samples and interpret test results.
