Affiliated Pathologists Medical Group offers the experience of pathologists with superb general surgical pathology, clinical pathology, and specific subspecialty expertise. The members of our group and their specialty expertise are listed below. All are Board certified in anatomic pathology; most are Board certified in clinical pathology and many have subspecialty board certification. CVs indicate subspecialty Boards. Members who are not subspecialty-boarded have recognized expertise due to extensive experience and specific concentrated case selection
Dermatopathology
Our dermatopathologists analyze skin biopsies or tissue samples to diagnose conditions like skin cancer, infections, inflammatory diseases, and other disorders affecting the skin.
Various techniques are used, including examining tissue under a microscope and using special stains, to identify the underlying causes of skin problems. Their work helps guide the treatment and management of patients with skin conditions.
Surgical Pathology
The goal of surgical pathology is to identify abnormalities such as tumors, infections, inflammation, or other diseases by studying the cellular structure and tissue architecture under a microscope.
Surgical pathology plays a crucial role in diagnosing cancer, inflammatory conditions, and other diseases, helping guide clinical decisions and treatment planning
Cytopathology
Cytology is often used in medical practices like cancer diagnosis (e.g., Pap smears to detect cervical cancer) and identifying infections or other conditions through cell samples. The study can involve techniques such as microscopy, staining, and molecular analysis to evaluate the health or abnormalities of individual cells.
Clinical Pathology
Clinical pathology is a branch of pathology that focuses on the diagnosis of disease through the analysis of body fluids and laboratory samples. It involves the use of various laboratory tests and techniques to examine samples such as blood, urine, tissue biopsies, and other bodily fluids to identify diseases, monitor their progression, and assess the effectiveness of treatment.
Hematopathology
Hematopathologists are key in diagnosing blood-related cancers like leukemia and lymphoma, identifying disorders like anemia or clotting issues, and detecting infections that affect blood cells and the lymphatic system. Their work is critical for guiding treatment and ensuring the best outcomes for patients with blood diseases.
GYN
A gynecologist diagnoses and treats issues with female reproductive organs. They deal with all aspects of sexual health like preventive care, cancer screenings and physical exams.
Molecular Pathology
Molecular pathology is a specialized branch of pathology that focuses on the study and diagnosis of diseases at the molecular level, particularly through the analysis of DNA, RNA, and proteins. This field combines aspects of molecular biology, genetics, and pathology to understand how genetic and molecular changes contribute to diseases such as cancer, genetic disorders, infections, and others.
Digital Pathology
Digital pathology is the use of digital imaging and computer technology to capture, manage, analyze, and interpret pathology slides and images. It involves converting traditional glass slides and tissue samples into high-resolution digital images, which can then be analyzed, shared, and stored electronically. This approach enhances the workflow in pathology by making the process more efficient, scalable, and accessible.
Gastrointestinal
Gastrointestinal (GI) pathologists are specialized doctors who focus on diagnosing diseases and conditions that affect the gastrointestinal system through the examination of tissue samples (biopsies) and other diagnostic tests. Their work helps identify various disorders and diseases that impact the digestive tract, such as cancers, infections, inflammatory conditions, and other GI diseases
