Biopsy and Pathology Information

BIOPSY INFORMATION

If you have just had a skin biopsy, this specimen was likely removed to evaluate the nature of a skin growth or rash. Your skin sample will be examined in a laboratory where a dermatopathologist (special skin doctor) will look at it under a microscope. The findings of the examined skin will be reported back to our office within a two week time frame. Usually, (99% of the time), we will either call you or send you a card in the mail with your final results. If further treatment is needed, we will help you set up a surgical or follow up appointment. If you do not hear from us within two weeks after your biopsy or surgery, then we recommend that you call us at 904-285-7546 ext 210 or click here. The take home message is that one way or another our office should communicate your results to you. Not hearing from us does not mean that everything is all right; rather, it means that you will need to take the step to call us to verify your final pathology results, or schedule an appointment with one of our providers.
