Pathology and Laboratory Medicine
Over three million laboratory tests are performed annually using state-of-the-art facilities and techniques such as robotic automation. Weill Cornell Medicine's New York City-based Pathology provides microscopic examinations of tissue samples, blood tests, drug monitoring, viral studies, body fluid analyses, and other tests, with a wide range of subspecialty areas. The specialties include hematopathology, breast pathology, dermatopathology, cytopathology and aspiration biopsy, renal pathology, special hematology and coagulation tests, molecular pathology, and perinatal and pediatric pathology.
More than sixty MD and PhD scientists staff the pathology laboratories. All are full-time, board-certified faculty at Weill Cornell Medical College with expertise in a wide range of pathology subspecialties. Building on their expertise, we have developed a nation-wide diagnostic and patient management consultation service.
"I saw Dr Port for a second opinion. He took the time to answer all of my questions and explained in detail. When the visit was over I felt knowledgeable and confident in going forward with surgery. I would recommend him to anyone seeking this type of medical advice."
"Dr Stiles is an outstanding, enthusiastic communicator and is very kind in answering all questions, no matter how relatively unimportant. I’m not as worried about my coming surgery with him as I might be because he (and his stellar reputation) inspires confidence. I feel blessed that he is handling my surgery."
"Dr. Altorki is compassionate, thorough, knowledgeable and professional. I felt confident of his care and ability 12 years ago when I received a diagnosis of lung cancer. He removed my upper left lobe. I continue to have semi and annual CT scans which he checks. In my estimation, Dr. Altorki is an excellent physician and surgeon."
