The department of Pathology at Baylor College of Medicine enjoys a national reputation for unsurpassed clinical practice, education and research. We offer a full-service pathology laboratory available for interpreting and diagnosing all pathology samples, a critical step in ensuring proper patient diagnosis and treatment.
Our physicians are experienced in all areas of pathology and committed to providing the best possible services to help our patients and their primary care physicians assess their health and medical conditions. We are dedicated to treating patients with the utmost care, respect and concern, and to working with other clinicians to deliver the best possible total healthcare experience.
Our pathologists are also actively involved in independent research to help understand various disease processes and to contribute to the development of additional treatments and/or cures.
We offer a wide range of clinical and anatomic pathology services, including interpretation of biopsy samples, review of samples obtained at other facilities and hospitals, laboratory studies, and a wide variety of laboratory tests. (Note clinical pathology is the service that handles most blood, urine, toxicology and infectious disease tests, as well as blood banking and transfusion, while anatomic pathology includes autopsy pathology, surgical pathology and cytopathology.)
We also offer fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy services, including superficial FNA biopsies performed by pathologists in our clinic and rapid interpretation of deep FNA samples performed by radiologists using radiologic guidance.
