Anne Grabenstetter, MD - MSK Pathologist

A brisk hop north on E 68th lands you between brick and steel with a change in rhythm—still Midtown but quieter, the way Upper East Side blocks taper toward the river. Anne Grabenstetter, MD practices here, a pathologist focused on musculoskeletal tissues: bone biopsies, soft-tissue tumors, cartilage evaluations and special stains that sharpen microscopic detail. Electronic consultations, second-opinion case reviews, custom stain panels for tricky differentials and intraoperative frozen sections populate a typical day. Needle core biopsies from radiology suites, revision arthroplasty specimens, even small pediatric bone tumors cross the same bench—each case logged and delivered with standardized synoptic reports. Situated along a wide thoroughfare just west of FDR Drive, the setting keeps deliveries unobstructed and emergency courier loops tight. 1275 York Ave, New York, NY 10065 is one long block away from the hospital clusters, so consults slide in before the next surgical cut begins. Outside, a row of service doors sits tight to the sidewalk, numbered discreetly; inside the mail slot accepts outside slides daily and courier lockers streamline returns. Most referrals arrive pre-labeled with barcode wristbands, so turnaround time starts when the slide lands on the tray. She offers telepathology platforms for real-time conferencing on tough margins, molecular reflex testing on cartilaginous lesions, and second-opinion bundles priced line-item per case. Complex sarcoma protocols stack glass on trays with classical H&E and tiered IHC cocktails; tilt the slide digitally, annotate via the cloud and both surgeon and pathologist tag-team in the same case file. Block selection follows CAP guidelines verbatim, and margins are inked in three hues to keep orientation unambiguous. Scan the block and chart your postal code into the map. You’ll find same-day pickup windows posted inside the main entry vestibule once your paperwork clears the initial screen. Dial (347) 798-9680 during business hours to schedule pickups or request courier ETAs; they’ll cross-check requisition barcodes and call your service back with an estimated drop-off. That’s all—no waiting list, just logistics and fine print.
