Pathology laboratories contributing to improved health outcomes for the community.
Mayne Health Dorevitch Pathology Welcome
Symbion Laverty Pathology is part of a network of pathology laboratories throughout Australia operating under the umbrella of Symbion Health, a division of Symbion Group Ltd. This organisation has evolved through the acquisition of four major pathology practices - Sugerman Pathology in 1995, Hampson Pathology in 1996, Macquarie Pathology and Dr Colin Laverty and Associates in 1998.

Sugerman Pathology was established in 1960 by Dr David Sugerman and grew to become one of the largest pathology providers in the Southern Sydney Region.

Hampson Pathology was established in 1956 by Dr Peter Hendry in Newcastle. By 1959, it had expanded into the Gosford District. Dr Roger Hampson joined the practice in 1968 and the business continued to expand into Port Macquarie, Taree, Forster and Coffs Harbour. In 1987, the Newcastle base relocated to its current site at Kotara. The company continued to expand into Sydney and subsequently merged with Mead Pathology in 1984 and with Lamond and Finlayson the following year.

Hampson Pathology and Sugerman Pathology merged in late 1996 becoming one of the main pathology providers in New South Wales.

Macquarie Pathology, established in 1970 and based in Leichhardt, provided extensive services to metropolitan and country NSW, the ACT and South Eastern Queensland.

Dr Colin Laverty began operations in April 1982, providing a highly specialised gynaecological cytology and histopathology service. Approximately 50% of referrals came from specialist obstetricians and gynaecologists.

The 'state of the art' North Ryde Laboratory was developed as the central laboratory for Symbion Laverty Pathology operations. This laboratory complex was operational in the final quarter of 2000, and was officially opened by the New South Wales Minister for Health on March 14, 2001.

The Symbion Laverty Pathology practice is run by a team of pathologists, and health management professionals led by Dr. Michael Guerin, Chief Pathologist, Symbion Pathology. From this North Ryde base the organisation provides an integrated network of local pathologists and laboratories throughout New South Wales, Southern Queensland, and the Australian Capital Territory.

In addition to our reputation for high ethical standards and pathologist expertise, we strive for continuous improvements new technology and a professional partnership with the medical community we serve.
