Dermatopathologist

Your Dermatologist can often make a diagnosis simply by examining the skin.  However when this is not possible, a skin biopsy may be necessary.  In these difficult cases, a Dermatopathologist is critical to arriving at the correct diagnosis.  At Marietta Dermatology, we have a state-of-the-art dermatopathology laboratory staffed by a board-certified Dermatopathologist.  Whenever a biopsy is taken, the specimen is transported to our dermatopathology laboratory and processed by our skilled histotechnicians.  Once the slides are prepared, they are interpreted by our board-certified dermatopathologist, Dr. Kevin Thomas.  Dr. Thomas has years of experience interpreting skin biopsies and is board-certified in Pathology and Dermatopathology.
