Featured Services
Dermatopathology
Dermatopathology is the study of skin diseases seen with a biopsy. It requires a dual knowledge of skin diseases and pathology to interpret skin biopsies. A dermatopathologist is trained both in a dermatology clinic as well as in a pathology lab.
Biopsies
A biopsy is the removal of a piece of skin to help render a diagnosis of skin cancers or inflammatory conditions. Dermatologists biopsy an area to confirm a diagnosis that cannot be rendered with the eyes alone. We need a microscope to be certain.
Rashes
A rash is an abnormal change in your skin’s texture or color, usually characterized by a red, scaly irritation on your skin. Because of the sheer number of rashes and their subtle differences, specialized training is required to properly diagnose and treat rashes.
Melanoma
Melanoma is the least common skin cancer but causes the majority of skin cancer deaths. However, melanoma is highly curable when found in the beginning stages, which makes early detection key for treatment.
