Specializing in dermatopathology has provided me with invaluable insight into the many conditions we see and treat here in our offices as well as diagnosing and treating skin cancer. For me, it’s all about making sure our dermatologists, and their teams, have the information they need to map out the best treatment plan for each patient and a successful outcome.””
