FAQs

Dermatopathologists are board-certified physicians who after completing extensive education in either dermatology or pathology, pursued additional training in accredited fellowship programs for the diagnostic interpretation of skin biopsies. These physicians integrate the clinical information with microscopic observations of the biopsy from the patient to provide diagnostic information to the treating physician. Anatomical Pathology is a consultative service to the referring physician and not simply a laboratory test. The accurate microscopic interpretation of a biopsy is essential in the selection of appropriate and effective therapies.
