About the Doctor

Dr. Andrzej T. Slominski is an exceptionally accomplished and internationally recognized pathologist practicing in Memphis, Tennessee, with over 21 years of clinical and academic experience across multiple subspecialties of pathology. He earned his medical degree from the Medical University of Gdansk, one of Poland’s most prestigious medical institutions with a long tradition of producing world-class physicians and researchers, and subsequently pursued advanced training in the United States through a comprehensive Anatomic and Clinical Pathology residency at Albany Med Health System from 1993 to 1997, followed immediately by a specialized fellowship in Dermatopathology at Albany Medical Center from 1996 to 1997. This dual residency and fellowship training established Dr. Slominski as a pathologist with both broad diagnostic expertise and a refined subspecialty focus in the pathology of skin diseases.

What truly distinguishes Dr. Slominski on the national and international stage is the extraordinary breadth and depth of his scholarly contributions to the field of pathology. His publication record is among the most prolific of any practicing pathologist in the country, with hundreds of peer-reviewed research articles, book chapters, and scientific contributions spanning decades of sustained academic productivity. This remarkable body of work reflects a career defined not only by outstanding clinical practice but also by a deep commitment to advancing the scientific understanding of pathological processes — particularly in the area of skin biology, pigmentation, and cutaneous oncology. He holds active medical licenses in Tennessee and New York (both through 2028), as well as Alabama (through 2026), and his four subspecialty designations — General Pathology, Dermatopathology, Anatomic Pathology, and Clinical Pathology — reflect the exceptional scope of his diagnostic capabilities.

Services Offered

Dr. Andrzej T. Slominski provides a comprehensive and deeply specialized range of pathology diagnostic services at his Memphis, Tennessee practice, serving as a critical link in the chain of care between clinical physicians and the accurate diagnoses that drive treatment decisions. As a pathologist, Dr. Slominski does not typically see patients directly in a traditional office setting; rather, his expertise is engaged when tissue, fluid, or laboratory samples require expert analysis to identify the nature, origin, and extent of disease — work that is essential to every cancer diagnosis, surgical outcome, and complex medical evaluation.

His subspecialty expertise in Dermatopathology makes him a particularly valuable resource for dermatologists, surgeons, and oncologists seeking accurate and nuanced interpretation of skin biopsies. Whether evaluating a suspicious mole for melanoma, diagnosing an inflammatory skin condition, or characterizing a rare cutaneous malignancy, Dr. Slominski brings a level of expertise and scholarly depth to dermatopathology that few physicians can match. His prolific research background in skin biology and pigmentation further enriches his diagnostic acuity, allowing him to apply the latest scientific understanding of cutaneous disease directly to clinical specimen interpretation.

In his Anatomic Pathology and Clinical Pathology roles, Dr. Slominski evaluates surgical specimens from across organ systems — including breast, colon, lung, thyroid, and prostate — providing the definitive diagnoses that oncologists and surgeons rely on to make treatment decisions. His clinical pathology expertise encompasses laboratory medicine, overseeing the accuracy and reliability of diagnostic testing processes that underpin patient care across an entire healthcare institution. Together, these four subspecialty capabilities make Dr. Slominski one of the most comprehensively trained and clinically versatile pathologists in the Memphis region.
