About the University of Colorado Dermatopathology Consultants

The University of Colorado Dermatopathology Consultants perform a variety of dermatopathology services including evaluation of wet tissue, electron microscopy, consultative opinions, and direct and indirect immunofluorescence. We offer advanced immunohistochemical analysis of skin biopsies, with 143 available immunohistochemical stains and in-situ hybridization for selected disorders. Our facility is certified by the College of American Pathologists (CAP) and Clinical Laboratory Improvement Ammendments (CLIA).

Clinical Services

A courier service is available to transport specimens within the Colorado Front Range. Referrals from physicians in any state, as permitted by state regulations, are also welcome.

The University of Colorado Dermatopathology Consultants also serve as the contracted dermatopathology provider for Dermpath Diagnostics. Our recently updated electronic database allows clinicians secure, HIPAA-certified online access to patient reports and report status, and facilitates easy communication with our staff.

Education and Research

Our four board-certified dermatopathologists offer specific expertise in pediatric dermatopathology, evaluation of melanocytic lesions, alopecia, cutaneous lymphoma, and analysis of metals and other foreign material in the skin.

We are active in academic research and teaching, and maintain a close relationship with the University of Colorado Dermatology Department and dermatology residency program. The Departments of Dermatology and Pathology also offer a dermatopathology fellowship training program to qualified dermatologists and pathologists.
