Since
opening our independent lab in June 2000, Wilmington Pathology
Associates has focused on women's health services. Our mission
is to provide the most advanced methods of cervical cancer
screening, including ThinPrep™
Pap tests and HPV testing, to the women of southeastern North
Carolina. Solstas Lab Partners Group shares our commitment to women's health delivering exceptional and cutting edge services. The latest techniques for Gonorrhea and Chlamydia
testing have been added to our test menu. In addition, Wilmington
Pathology Associates and Solstas Lab Partners are now able to provide Cystic Fibrosis
testing from the ThinPrep™
Pap Test vial without a patient having to submit an additional
specimen.
Wilmington Pathology Associates is fortunate to have the
expertise of board certified pathologists who have subspecialty
training in many different areas and board certification
in cytopathology. Our current staff includes a
former academician responsible for training many other pathologists.
