Pathologist Jobs in Plano, TX (NOW HIRING)

PathGroup is seeking an AP/CP Board-Certified or Board-Eligible Pathologist to join a thriving, high-volume practice serving two premier hospitals in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. This full-time position is based in Plano, TX, offering a mix of surgical and cytopathology cases in a collaborative environment with an established and respected team.

We are seeking a strong general surgical pathologist who thrives in a busy, collaborative environment and values quality, efficiency, and collegiality. Candidates with subspecialty interest or experience in breast, GI/liver, head and neck pathology, or cytology are especially encouraged to apply.

The practice currently includes three pathologists with diverse subspecialty expertise (including breast, GI/liver, and neuropathology). Due to the planned departure of one pathologist, the team is seeking to fill the fourth full-time position to maintain balanced case volume and the group's long-standing tradition of excellence in diagnostic service.

Practice Overview

• Each pathologist signs out approximately 4,000-6,000 cases annually, covering a diverse and complex surgical mix.
• Heavy breast, GI/liver, head and neck, and cytology workload, with additional coverage of melanoma, neuropathology, and general surgical pathology.
• The site operates on a fully digital workflow. All surgical pathology is digitized; cytology conversion is in progress.
• Call is shared evenly, one week per month (1:4 rotation).
• The group maintains five on-site pathology offices conveniently located adjacent to the main hospital. Occasional remote flexibility is available; many team members periodically sign out cases from home.
• High-performing yet collegial group known for exceptional collaboration, clinical quality, and close working relationships with surgeons and hospital leadership.

About the Practice
