Why Use a Dermatopathologist
and ADPA?
Dermatopathologists are physicians with special training
and expertise in the interpretation of skin biopsies. This additional
training follows the completion of a full residency program in
either dermatology (Dr. Wade), or pathology (Dr. Lee), or in some
cases, training in both of these specialties (Dr. Milde). Having
such specialized training allows us to use expert clinicopathological
correlation in making histologic interpretations of benign or malignant
neoplasms, such as malignant melanoma, as well as inflammatory
dermatoses. In doing so, you as the referring physician,
will benefit from accurate diagnoses and consequently your patients
will benefit from appropriate treatment.
ADPA, as a private, independent laboratory, specializes
in the practice of dermatopathology. Our goal is to provide our referring
physicians with unparalleled expertise in diagnosing skin lesions
of all types in a timely fashion while not sacrificing detail or
personal attention. In addition, as a privately owned and operated
facility, our policies and procedures are not determined or dictated
by any outside corporation or stockholders.
