Who provides dermatopathology services?
How can integrated dermatology and dermatopathology services benefit me as a patient?
Dermatopathology is a subspecialty of dermatology and pathology and deals with the microscopic interpretation of skin specimens.
What is dermatopathology? Looking beyond the surface of things.
Dermatologists and pathologists typically provide dermatopathology services. Some dermatologists and pathologists receive additional fellowship training in this field and are then generally considered “dermatopathologists.” Dr. Sung has completed this ACGME-accredited fellowship and is board certified in dermatopathology as well as dermatology.
Many times, the understanding of a patient’s condition and formulating the best treatment plan require the close collaboration of the dermatologist and pathologist. Since Dr. Sung is board certified in both dermatology and dermatopathology, this allows him to act as both your clinician and dermatopathologist. He is able to seamlessly integrate your clinical history, physical examination, and any skin pathology into a unified diagnosis and optimized treatment plan.
