  • At AscentPath, we do not require restrictive, long-term contracts to use any of our services. Send us as much or as little as you need.

    In fact, even if you are currently under contract with a larger pathology corporation, you may be able to send out 10% of your annual lab expenditures to independent labs like us!

    Contact us today for our current price sheet.

  • At AscentPath, we prioritize exceptional customer service. Our goal is to have pathologists form strong, personal relationships with our clients to better assist in patient care.

    That is why we offer SAME-DAY access to an ACVP Board-Certified Pathologist to discuss interpretation reports, integration of pathology results with your clinical impression, and how best to submit your specimens.

    We know your time is valuable and we’ll have a live person available when you call.

    We’ll be there for you on those difficult cases that require additional testing and discussion – you can count on it!

  • Send us your most difficult cases! At AscentPath, only experienced, Board-Certified Veterinary Pathologists evaluate client submissions. To learn more about our highly skilled team, see our ‘About’ page!

    Just know that we treat every specimen that comes into our lab like it is from one of our own pets. For that reason, we purposely limit the number of cases given to our pathologists each day, so they can spend the time they need to fully evaluate each submission.

  • Login to your individualized, online client portal for ease of submission, specimen tracking, and access to preliminary and final reports.

    Again, we know your time is valuable, so we make it easy for you to access our services. That way you can spend more time where it matters - with your practice.

  • Put simply: At AscentPath, we get results back to you fast! In most cases, we’re able to produce:

    Cytology - Next day reports from date of receipt of sample.

    Biopsy - Next day reports from date of specimen receipt, with the exception of large samples that require additional fixation or decalcification.
