DERMATOPATHOLOGY

Dermatopathology is a joint subspecialty of dermatology and surgical pathology that focuses on the study of cutaneous diseases at a microscopic and molecular level. This specialty also encompasses analyses of the potential causes of skin diseases at a basic level. Dermatologists and physicians rely on the pathologists to examine biopsies to provide a conclusive diagnosis. Our pathologists work closely with the dermatology providers in and around Central Oregon to deliver comprehensive patient care.
