Pathology is changing rapidly in this era of molecular diagnostic and personalized medicine, and we are committed to leading the way forward.

Over the years, we have worked to create a pathology practice that provides accurate and meaningful tissue analysis to both patients and physicians in a timely manner, taking pride in our attention to quality and patient safety. We work closely with physicians to ensure correlation with the patient’s condition and to provide accurate and meaningful diagnosis.

We are proud to service many independent physician practices around Orange County, Los Angeles, and Beverly Hills. We have also maintained a long standing partnership with St. Joseph Health System, Mission Hospital Mission Viejo and Mission Hospital Laguna Beach, to provide professional pathology service to hospital inpatients and outpatients. Our courier network offers daily service within South Orange County and Beverly Hills. We utilize express mail service (FEDEX) for those outside the range of our couriers.

The laboratories and affiliated hospitals are licensed by the California Department of Public Health, Clinical Laboratory Improvement Ammendments (CLIA), and accredited by the College of American Pathology (CAP) and the Joint Commission Accreditation of Health Organizations (JCAHO).

We accept all PPO insurance, and are contracted with many of the most common HMO insurance carriers, including but not limited to: Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield, Sigma, Greater Newport Physicians, HealthNet, Monarch IPA, Scan, United Healthcare, and many more.
