What is the status of my biopsy report?
Information concerning the biopsy report is obtained from the doctor performing the biopsy. Processing of routine biopsy specimens begin upon arrival in this office. Usually, the specimen is available for our pathologist’s review the next day. The biopsy report is finalized on the same or next day. The report is faxed to the doctor upon completion. The original report is mailed to the doctor the same day it was faxed. In summary, biopsy reports usually arrive at the doctor’s office within three days of our receiving the specimen. This timetable may be extended if the doctor taking the biopsy does not immediately mail the specimen or if special processing is necessary.
