Lauderdale Pathology

What Lauderdale Pathology does

Lauderdale Pathology is a private, regionally focused anatomic pathology laboratory headquartered in Pompano Beach, Florida, serving medical practices in South Florida. Founded in 2009, the company provides diagnostic testing across four service lines: podiatric pathology (a primary focus with customized requisition forms and a 48-hour in-house turnaround), dermatopathology, mycology (fungal identification via classical morphological methods including cultures and gram stains), and an In-Office Pathology Lab setup service that helps medical practices establish ancillary in-office labs under a Stark self-referral law exception. The company is staffed by three board-certified pathologists — Dr. Marlon S. Osbourne (Anatomic and Forensic Pathology), Dr. Stephen L. Robinson (Forensic Pathology, retired Deputy Chief Medical Examiner for Broward County in October 2023), and Dr. Edwin L. Kamstock (Clinical, Anatomic, and Dermatopathology) — supported by laboratory technologists in a single facility.

The laboratory operates with state-of-the-art equipment, automated computer systems, and standard pathology diagnostic methods including routine staining, special stains, and immunohistochemistry stains. Test results are delivered to clients via a digital reporting portal (orv.agillaire.com) with fallback options for fax or mail delivery. Routine cases are turned around in 24-48 hours, positioning the lab as a speed-competitive alternative to larger reference laboratories for its target specialties.

Lauderdale Pathology generates revenue through two primary streams: fee-for-service pathology testing on a transaction basis (per-test billing for podiatric, dermatopathology, and mycology work), and professional services revenue from in-office lab setup engagements led by Neil Ramgolam. The go-to-market is consultative, B2B direct sales targeting podiatry and dermatology practices through the company website, direct phone (954-977-7959), and email channels. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The business appears to be owner-operated with no evidence of external equity investment or institutional investors in the provided materials.
