Most patients never meet their pathologist. Your biopsy sample is sent to the pathology lab, processed, stained, and examined under a microscope. The pathologist writes a detailed report describing what they see and providing a diagnosis. This report goes to your treating doctor within a few days. If you request a second opinion on pathology, the original slides are sent to another pathologist for independent review.
You generally do not schedule visits with a pathologist. They work behind the scenes. Your treating physician may request a pathology consultation for complex cases.
