INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' CONSENT AND REPORT ON SCHEDULES

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of AmeriPath, Inc.:

We consent to the incorporation by reference in this Post-Effective Amendment
No. 1 to the Registration Statement No. 333-38429 of AmeriPath, Inc. on Form
S-1 of our report dated March 6, 1997, appearing in Registration Statement No.
333-34265 on Form S-1 of AmeriPath, Inc.

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements referred to in our
aforementioned report also included the consolidated financial statement
schedule of AmeriPath, Inc., listed in Item 16(b) of Registration Statement No.
333-34265.  This consolidated financial statement schedule is the responsibility
of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion based
on our audits.  In our opinion, such consolidated financial statement schedule,
when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken
as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth
therein.

We have also previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the balance sheets of E.G. Poulos, M.D., M.J. Demaray, M.D. and A.P.
Kowalczyk, M.D., P.A. (the "Predecessor") as of December 31, 1992 and 1993, and
the related statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the
years ended December 31, 1992 and 1993, and the balance sheet of American
Laboratory Associates, Inc. as of December 31, 1994 (none of which are
presented herein); and we expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial
statements.  In our opinion, the information as of December 31, 1992, 1993 and
1994 and for the years ended December 31, 1992 and 1993, set forth under the
heading "Selected Consolidated Financial Data" in the Prospectus, is fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements from
which it has been derived.
