What is Pathology & Laboratory Medicine?
Pathology is the medical specialty focused on diagnosing disease through laboratory analysis of body fluids, tissues, and cells. Pathologists are physicians who examine specimens under microscopes, analyze test results, and provide diagnostic interpretations that guide treatment decisions across all medical specialties. Laboratory medicine encompasses clinical pathology (blood tests, body fluid analysis, microbiology) and anatomic pathology (tissue biopsies, cytology, surgical specimens).
Modern pathology provides the diagnostic foundation for medicine—cancer diagnosis relies on pathologist examination of biopsies identifying tumor type and aggressiveness, chronic disease management depends on regular blood work monitoring treatment effectiveness, infectious disease diagnosis requires laboratory identification of causative organisms, and surgical pathology confirms complete tumor removal and guides further treatment. Without accurate pathology, physicians cannot make informed treatment decisions.
Pathology services impact virtually every aspect of healthcare—routine health screening detecting diseases early when most treatable, diagnostic workup identifying causes of symptoms, cancer detection and classification guiding oncology treatment, monitoring chronic conditions like diabetes and kidney disease, surgical specimen analysis ensuring appropriate treatment, and prenatal testing assessing maternal and fetal health.
At Healing Hospital, Dr. Brahmjyot personally reviews all histopathology and cytology specimens, ensuring expert interpretation of your diagnostic tests with particular expertise in gynecological and thyroid pathology where accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate management.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Which is the best pathology lab in Chandigarh?
Healing Hospital’s Pathology Department is recognized for diagnostic excellence, combining state-of-the-art laboratory technology with expert pathologist interpretation. With Dr. Brahmjyot’s 16+ years specialized experience, former Professor and HOD credentials, specialized expertise in histopathology and cytology (particularly gynecological and thyroid pathology), and commitment to quality control and accurate diagnosis, we provide reliable laboratory services you and your physician can trust.
Do I need a doctor's prescription for pathology tests?
For routine screening tests and health checkups, no prescription is required. However, for specialized tests, biopsies, and disease-specific investigations, a physician’s order is recommended ensuring appropriate tests are performed and results are properly interpreted in clinical context. We coordinate with your referring physician for seamless care.
How long does it take to get pathology reports?
Turnaround time varies by test type: routine blood work typically available the same day or next day, cultures requiring bacterial growth take 2-3 days, histopathology (biopsy) reports typically ready in 3-5 days, and specialized tests may take 5-7 days. Urgent tests can be expedited when medically necessary.
Are biopsy reports reviewed by a pathologist?
Yes, absolutely. Dr. Brahmjyot personally reviews all histopathology and cytology specimens under microscope. Unlike some laboratories relying only on technician screening, our biopsy reports reflect expert pathologist examination ensuring diagnostic accuracy, particularly important for cancer diagnosis where accurate interpretation is crucial for treatment decisions.
What is the difference between histopathology and cytology?
Histopathology examines tissue samples (biopsies or surgical specimens) under microscope showing tissue architecture and cellular details—considered the gold standard for definitive diagnosis. Cytology examines individual cells from Pap smears, fine needle aspirations, or body fluids—less invasive but sometimes requiring tissue confirmation.
How do I collect my pathology reports?
Reports can be collected in person from our laboratory, sent electronically to your registered email and whatsapp contact number, or accessed through our patient portal on www.healinghospital.co.in, when available.
