Collaborative Relationships & Direct Communication

At Sagis, we prioritize strong relationships and open communication with the hospitals and surgery centers we serve. Our pathologists are accessible, responsive, and engaged—committed to working alongside clinical teams to support high-quality patient care. We believe collaboration leads to better outcomes, fewer errors, and more efficient care delivery. When questions arise or clinical input is needed, your physicians will know exactly who to call.

Subspecialty-Driven Diagnostic Support

We operate within a subspecialty practice model that ensures every case is reviewed by a pathologist with focused expertise.
