Dermatopathology Services offers expert skin biopsy interpretation and consultation to dermatologists, pathologists, and plastic surgeons in the diagnosis of benign and malignant dermatologic diseases. We utilize the most advanced technologies available including light microscopy (LM), immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence (IF).

Clinical Consultative Services
Dermatopathology Services are provided by two physicians board-certified in Dermatopathology who specialize in clinico-pathological correlation to provide optimal interpretation of each patient's biopsy.
