BIOPSY SERVICE
Your doctor may prescribe a biopsy of a suspicious lesion in you mouth. A piece of that lesion is surgically removed and sent to our lab. The biopsy is processed and our pathologists look at it under a microscope to provide a diagnosis and rule out cancer. We also work with your doctor to determine the best treatment for your particular diagnosis

DISEASE MANAGEMENT
Many diseases in the mouth are chronic and require long term management and monitoring. Pathologists have the training and experience needed to manage these diseases effectively by working with the patient and their doctor .
