What is a Pathologist?
A pathologist is a medical doctor trained to diagnose and treat patients through laboratory medicine. By analyzing routine tests, pathologists alert your physician to any changes in your health early, when successful treatment is most likely. Pathologists use lab tests to either identify a disease or to rule out other diseases that could impact a patient's health or the public's well-being.
