About Pathology
Pathologists provide information to other physicians essential to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease. In the course of our work, we analyze tissue, blood, and other body fluids in order to answer many questions, for example: Is this patient’s blood test normal? Is this patient’s skin lesion a benign mole or melanoma? Is the blood for transfusion free of disease and compatible with the patient’s blood? How did this family’s loved one die? The department of pathology includes many highly skilled individuals, including clinical laboratory scientists, cytotechnologists, phlebotomists, technical assistants, and pathologists—to name just a few.

I am one of five pathologists serving the Richmond Medical Center and Berkeley Regional Laboratory. Although I provide consultation in most areas of anatomic and clinical pathology, topics of special interest to me include dermatopathology and cytopathology, as well as flow cytometry and hemostasis/coagulation.

An emergency medical condition is a medical or psychiatric condition that manifests itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity (including severe pain) such that you could reasonably expect the absence of immediate medical attention to result in any of the following: serious jeopardy to your health, serious impairment to your bodily functions, or serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part. An emergency medical condition is also "active labor," which means a labor when there is inadequate time for safe transfer to a Plan hospital (or designated hospital) before delivery or if a transfer poses a threat to the health of the member or unborn child.
