Hello
My name is Esther Crouch and I am an experienced board-certified anatomic pathologist with a passion for diagnostic pathology and clinical collaboration. I have particular interest in hepatopathology and welcome complex liver cases.
My areas of expertise include:
- Hepatopathology
- Infectious Disease
- Zoo, Wildlife, Exotic Diagnostic Pathology
- Digital Pathology
- Pre-Clinical and Laboratory Animal Research
My Approach
I enjoy the 'deep dive' of diagnostic pathology and prefer fewer more involved cases, versus the very high caseload typical of commercial settings. My approach is collaborative and integrative with the clinician. I pride myself on being able to address the clinician's concerns, thinking outside the box, going above and beyond with communication, pathologic process discussion, and differential diagnoses. My goal is to simplify your complex cases (as much as possible).
My Story
I attained my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from the University of Adelaide and completed a three-year stint in clinical practice, where I developed a healthy respect for the challenges faced by veterinary clinicians. Following this, I pursued my passion for pathology by completing a Masters of Veterinary Science at Murdoch University, and a Residency and Fellowship in Anatomic Pathology (Zoo and Wildlife track / Comparative Pathology) at Cornell University and the Wildlife Conservation Society (Bronx Zoo) in New York, USA. During my pathology training I was exposed to a plethora of complex cases, and developed expertise across multiple species in hepatopathology and infectious diseases. I currently work as a Toxicologic Pathologist and Digital Pathology Expert, however, I opened this consultancy service in order to meet local demand for collaborative pathology and satiate my own desire to engage in diagnostic pathology (I love my job!).
