Dr. Sebastian Sasu, President

Each patient’s disease is unique, and in this era of personalized medicine arriving at the correct diagnosis requires an in-depth understanding of both clinical and pathologic aspects of disease, as well as appropriate leveraging of available ancillary diagnostic tools. Considerable experience in both anatomic/clinical pathology and laboratory-based research, close communication with our clinical colleagues, as well as access to the latest cutting-edge technologies through partnerships with the Laboratory Diagnostics industry form the basis for our group’s integrated approach to diagnosis.
