Grace Jackson, M.D., brings more than 15 years of experience with Oculus Pathology to her work in cytopathology, head and neck pathology, and pathology leadership.
Dr. Jackson joined Oculus Pathology in 2009 and primarily serves San Antonio’s St. Luke’s Baptist Hospital as chief of service for pathology. She is board certified in anatomic and clinical pathology and cytopathology, with an additional area of interest in neuropathology.
Her practice reflects both subspecialty expertise and a broad view of pathology operations. In addition to her diagnostic work and position with St. Luke’s Baptist, Dr. Jackson serves medical director of the M&S Imaging Gateway Laboratory and section chief for Baptist Health System Histology in San Antonio, Texas.
“Dr. Jackson has been an important part of Oculus Pathology for well over a decade, and her leadership reaches across multiple areas of the practice,” said Matt Thompson, CEO of Oculus Pathology. “She brings strong clinical expertise, consistency, and operational perspectives that serve physicians and patients well.”
Dr. Jackson completed her cytopathology fellowship at Baylor College of Medicine after completing her anatomic and clinical pathology residency at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston. She earned her medical degree from Baylor College of Medicine and completed her undergraduate education at the University of Texas – Pan American.
Her board certification in cytopathology, earned in 2010, complements her work in head and neck pathology and supports the focused diagnostic expertise she brings to clinicians at St. Luke’s Baptist Hospital and other partners across the system.
Dr. Jackson’s medical directorships also place her at the intersection of diagnostic medicine, laboratory operations, and quality oversight. Through those roles, she helps support the systems and teams responsible for delivering reliable pathology services across multiple settings.
Her long tenure with Oculus Pathology provides continuity as the practice continues to grow. Since joining in 2009, she has contributed to leadership roles that connect individual diagnoses with the broader work of laboratory and pathology service delivery.
“Grace brings a steady, collaborative approach to both diagnostic work and medical leadership,” said Andrew Walls, MD. “She understands the details of the case in front of her and the larger forces needed for a pathology service to function at the highest level.”
Through her subspecialty training, medical directorships, and longstanding service to Oculus Pathology, Dr. Jackson helps strengthen cytopathology and pathology operations for the clinicians and patients the practice serves.
