Routine Histology

Three Rivers Pathology runs H and E testing on all specimens that are submitted to the histology department. When further testing is needed or requested we then run Special Stain and/or Immunohistochemistry testing. The standard turn around time for all of our Histology testing is forty eight hours with twenty four hour turn around time available by request.

Our senior technologist has 24 years of experience and a special certification in Immunohistochemistry.
