The Lab's Role in Patient Care
The physicians and support staff of the Forefront Dermatopathology Laboratory describe the steps and technical expertise provided to each specimen in their laboratory.
Solely Focused on Skin Health
Skin health is all we do. As a laboratory dedicated exclusively to skin, we bring specialized expertise and exceptional care to every diagnosis made. Being one of the largest dermatopathology labs in the country means rare and complex pathology is part of everyday practice for our dermatopathologists.
True Collaborative Care
We work closely with clinical care teams to deliver informed, timely diagnoses. Our dermatopathologists have seamless access to patient medical records, including medical history, clinical notes, and photographs, allowing for more accurate interpretation of pathology slides and stronger coordination of care. Pathology results integrate directly into patient charts, supporting efficient decision-making and timely care delivery.
Patient Focused at Our Core
Although our work happens behind the scenes, its impact on patients is always front of mind. Every slide represents a person, and that perspective drives our commitment to quality, accuracy, and timeliness. While patients may never meet our lab team, they can feel confident knowing we share Forefront’s mission to deliver the highest standard of dermatologic care.
Advanced Science…Smart Technology…Safer Care
Our commitment to advanced technology is a reflection of our unwavering dedication to our patients. Automation improves consistency and diagnostic accuracy, and our barcode tracking system enhances patient safety by monitoring patient samples throughout every step of the lab process. Operating 24 hours a day allows us to deliver results faster—helping clinicians move forward with care sooner and reducing the stress of waiting for answers.
Comprehensive Pathology Services
We offer a full spectrum of dermatopathology services, including routine skin pathology, immunohistochemistry, special stains, and direct immunofluorescence studies. Using advanced automated processing and staining technologies, we perform the vast majority of necessary testing in-house. Our broad test menu helps shorten turnaround times and minimizes the need for outside testing and associated additional cost to patients.
