For PATIENTS
Overview
Drs Gritzman and Thatcher Inc. Laboratories provide a diagnostic pathology service for clinicians throughout Johannesburg and surrounding areas. We specialize in Histopathology and Cytopathology which is the examination of biopsies, tissue samples and cell smears (e.g. Pap smears).
Once we receive your specimen it is processed in our labs by experienced technicians before being examined under the microscope by a pathologist. This typically takes 24 – 48 hours. A report of the findings and diagnosis is then issued to your doctor.
In some cases additional specialized testing may be required in order to reach a final diagnosis.
We know how important a timely and accurate diagnosis is for patient care, and we strive to provide the best service available in the region.
