PAML :: Pages :: Consultation Services

Highly-complex testing methodologies and the rapid tempo of technological innovation make it harder for healthcare providers to stay abreast of the latest developments in medical diagnostics. Sometimes, providing the best possible patient care means consulting with experts.

At PAML, we believe that healthcare providers should receive more than just test results from their chosen reference laboratory. That is why professional consultation services are available as a complimentary service to all PAML clients to help answer questions, discuss test results, consult on unusual cases, or arrange for special studies. Interpretive assistance and suggested protocols are combined to provide valuable insight and direction.

PAML’s commitment to superior customer service ensures our clients will receive the professional consultation required to understand fully how to utilize the latest diagnostic information for better patient care.

The PAML Client Services Department acts as a liaison between our clients/customers and the laboratory technical staff.
The phone numbers above direct you to Client Services, your first point of contact for consultations.

PAML’s medical directors, technical directors, and staff are available for telephone consultations and questions Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM until 5:00 PM, and after hours as needed. Telephone consultation with a pathologist is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
