We’ve been dedicated to breaking new ground in understanding and treating the urinary system since 1893, when Dr. J. Cushing Allison taught the first urology classes at Tufts University and in the 1960s, when we developed a special laboratory for evaluating patients with neuropathic bladder dysfunction.  

Our department includes more than 200 pathologists, medical technologists, medical technicians, phlebotomists and administrative staff who touch nearly every medical specialty at Tufts Medicine. It’s this spirit of collaboration and pursuit of pathology excellence that earned our department the prestigious College of American Pathologists (CAP) accreditation — an award bestowed to only 8,000 facilities worldwide.

Our ophthalmologists are distinguished clinicians, educators and researchers who cover all angles of visual health, from routine care to complex cases. Together, we're building better ophthalmic care for our patients by keeping up with the latest advances in ophthalmology.
