Pathology Chatswood – More Informed Medical Decisions

So what exactly is pathology? Chatswood patients sometimes worry when the word ‘pathology’ comes up, but they have absolutely nothing to fear. A pathology laboratory is where body tissues from cervical screening tests and biopsies, for example, and bodily fluids from samples of blood and urine, are tested and examined to determine the cause and nature of a disease. The results of these pathology tests help our Chatswood pathology doctors diagnose and treat patients in the right way.

We’re extremely grateful to them for their speedy accurate testing which enables us to diagnose patients faster and start the appropriate treatment sooner, giving a better chance of a successful outcome. It’s always a nail-biting wait for test results to come through but fortunately patients aren’t kept waiting any longer than necessary.
