Summary

  • I am a board-certified dermatopathologist, a physician who is a subspecialist in the fields of pathology and dermatology and has pursued an accepted course of graduate study and clinical work above and beyond residency training and has demonstrated proficiency to the American Boards of Dermatology and Pathology. I did my fellowship under the tutelage of one of the giants of dermatopathology, the late Dr. A. Bernard Ackerman. Through him, I received a sound and solid base to my education.

    Dermatopathology focuses on the diagnosis of skin biopsies. I have been practicing dermatopathology full time since graduating from my fellowship in 1996. I bring to you tremendous experience; I have diagnosed around 1.5 million skin biopsies in my career. I have published in peer reviewed journals in my field and have taught many dermatology residents within the past 24 years as a clinical professor at Wright State University. All of these experiences have made me a better dermatopathologist.

    I will continue with the clinician’s care by providing a reliable diagnosis. To me, the patient is not just a case number, a billable code or a dollar sign. I practice dermatopathology with compassion in my heart knowing that behind every skin biopsy there is a human being. I will use my knowledge, medical judgment and experience to render a diagnosis that helps physicians to treat diseases properly and ultimately to achieve the best clinical outcome.

    As a dermatopathologist, I am a consultant to physicians who have complete accessibility to the biopsy results through a variety of ways. Please call us at (937) 412-4230 or visit us at www.AmericanDermpath.com to learn more about my services.
