INDEPENDENT AUDITORS'S CONSENT AND REPORT ON SCHEDULES

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

We consent to the use in this Amendment No. 3 to Registration Statement No.
333-17065 of AmeriPath, Inc. on Form S-1 of our report dated November 19, 1996
(January 13, 1997, as to the effects of the 1.8 for 1 stock split discussed in
Note 1), appearing in the Prospectus, which is part of this Registration
Statement.  We also consent to the references to us under the headings "Selected
Consolidated Financial Data" and "Experts" in such Prospectus.

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).  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 as of December 31, 1992 and 1993, and the related
statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year ended
December 31, 1992 (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 and 1993 and for the year ended December
31, 1992, 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.
