Experts in Lab Work

When you take a lab test, the sample goes to a pathologist for analysis. The pathologist will study the specimen and write up a pathology report for your provider. These reports include diagnoses and detailed descriptions of what the pathologist learned from the samples. Your provider will use this information to create an individualized care plan.

Our pathologists work with a variety of tests and procedures. Browse a full list of lab tests and learn everything you need to know before giving a sample. Talk to your doctor to see what tests are available in your area.

At Sanford Health, you’ll also have access to cytopathologists. These specialists study disease on a cellular level. They work with small amounts of cells, fluids or tissues to diagnose diseases and most commonly work to diagnose cancers.
