Transforming Pathology Through Personalized, Patient-Centered Care

Pacific Pathology Partners is redefining the way that pathologists interact with patients across the healthcare spectrum.

Pathologists are key players in healthcare teams. The work of pathologists has led to quicker diagnoses, more effective treatments, and improved health outcomes. Traditionally, pathologists worked behind the scenes, studying specimens and developing diagnoses. A patient would see his primary care physician or specialist, who would provide a specimen to a pathologist. The pathologist would review the specimen and return a diagnosis or recommendation to the physician, who would then transmit that information to the patient.

Pathologists are often referred to as the “doctor’s doctor” because they interact with physicians rather than patients. Pacific Pathology Partners aims to revolutionize the role that pathologists play by serving not only as the doctor’s doctor, but also as the patient’s doctor. It is our mission to provide rich diagnostic information and treatment recommendations directly to patients.

Reworking the Relationship Between Doctor, Pathologist, and Patient

We believe that the relationship between a doctor, pathologist, and patient should have a triangular structure. That’s why our pathologists are committed to being accessible and available for direct consultation not only with clinicians, but also with patients. Our pathologists discuss the results of patients’ tests with them and address their concerns. This fundamental belief in the importance of involving pathologists in direct patient care has driven us to create innovative technological solutions that strengthen the connection between patient, physician, and diagnostician. Our involvement in the PathForce^dx digital pathology platform has facilitated collaboration between physicians and given patients ownership of their diagnostic information.

Pacific Pathology Partners is devoted to providing comprehensive, patient-centered laboratory services of superior quality. Our team is comprised of highly trained personnel who offer around-the-clock pathology coverage for consultations. You can rest assured that our expert pathologists will be accessible 24 hours a day to provide you with advice and guidance.
