Our History

For more than half a century Ketchum, Wood & Burgert Pathology Associates has been providing independent laboratory cytology and surgical pathology diagnostics to the medical community of the Florida panhandle. Founded in 1949, the group has grown to nine pathologists, who are licensed in Florida, Georgia, and Alabama. The laboratory meets all federal and State of Florida licensure requirements and is accredited by the College of American Pathologists (CAP). Our technical staff works to ensure a rapid turnaround time and accurate results, which helps the physicians we assist in the care and treatment of their patients.
