I am a pathologist with Spectrum Medical Group based in Portland, with expertise in gastrointestinal and liver pathology. Please review my credentials.  I and the entire team of Spectrum Pathology would like to offer you our expertise and service for consultation and/or a second opinion.

Studies and my own experience at the Mayo Clinic have shown that about 5% of original pathology diagnoses are revised upon review by a team of experts. This is in part due to greater expertise of subspecialty experts, the inherently subjective nature of some diagnoses, and a possible changing focus in your ongoing medical care that may add new clinical questions to your pathology specimen. The pathology diagnosis forms the basis for many clinical decisions, and provides information regarding prognosis and the best possible treatment to choose.

A second opinion and review of your pathology specimen by our team will ensure that your diagnosis is correct and that all information pertinent to your care is available to your doctor.

We invite you to have your doctor forward your pathology material to us. In most cases, the glass slides and a copy of your pathology report is sufficient. We will review your case and issue a written consultation report that is directly communicated to your treating physician.

We offer comprehensive ancillary diagnostic techniques, including molecular analysis, and we offer subspecialty expertise not only in gastrointestinal and liver pathology, but also in dermatopathology, hematopathology, oral pathology, gynecologic and genitourologic pathology, lung, breast and kidney pathology.

Rapid turnaround and exceptional client service is a hallmark of our group. For patient safety, we perform real-time tracking of key quality assurance parameters & critical value reporting.

I am very happy to follow up with you to discuss all aspects of this service.   Please feel free to contact me directly by phone or e-mail.  You can also visit our website.
