Pathology
Dermatopathology
Why demand a Dermatopathologist?A dermatopathologist is a highly trained physician who specializes in diagnosing disorders of the skin under a microscope. The subspecialty of dermatopathology is a combination of both dermatology (the diagnosis and treatment of skin, hair and nail disorders) and pathology (identification of disorders microscopically).
Because of this highly specialized pathology, a dermatopathologist should be the diagnostician of choice when you suspect various skin disorders. Dermatopathology cases may include melanoma, and other skin cancers, immunologic, infectious and pediatric disorders. Since a misdiagnosis of certain skin disorders can be fatal, it is imperative that you receive the most accurate and timely diagnosis.
Diagnosing skin tissue is not another automated laboratory test. Our Board Certified Dermatopathologist provides a personal, consultative service to fellow dermatologists, general practice physicians, family practice physicians, and podiatrists. This includes analyzing medical information in conjunction with observations through the microscope. The ultimate goal is to provide the best possible patient care for the patient.
