Why Should I Use an Oral Pathologist?

Thank you for using our service!
Using Northwest Oral Pathology gives you and your patients access to:

• Board certified Oral and Maxillofacial Pathologists who have expertise in:
  • Oral cancers and premalignant lesions.
  • Odontogenic cysts and tumors.
  • Salivary gland pathology.
  • Inflammatory lesions of the oral cavity.
• Oral pathologists who understand pathology of the oral cavity and the maxillofacial region better than most general pathologists.  (We provide general pathology residents month long rotations through our laboratory.)
• Pathologists who are dentists and are available to talk to the surgeon about individual cases.
• The quickest possible turnaround time.
• The suggested and generally accepted “standard of care” for oral & maxillofacial surgeons doing biopsies. *

By utilizing Northwest Oral Pathology you can be sure that you are giving your patients the best care based on a sound diagnosis and understanding of the disease process.
