Outpatient Pathology Associates (OPA), established in 1987, is a unique medical group which emphasizes state-of-the-art diagnosis where most care takes place: outside the hospital.

OPA combines national leadership in fine needle aspiration (FNA) with outpatient surgical pathology and cytopathology tailored to the needs of outpatient medical practices.

Our doctors are always available at one location for consultation, questions, or assistance to client physicians and their staff. Every medical practice has unique requirements and we strive to maintain flexibility to fill your needs.

OPA is accredited by the College of American Pathologists laboratory inspection program.

Approved Continuing Medical Education opportunities are available for personalized fine needle aspiration training.
