Healthcare Providers Faqs

For over 30 years, the physicians and staff at BDL have provided the most trusted, accurate, and actionable biopsy reports to help you diagnose and treat your dermatology patients. Our doctors are known for their definitive reporting and their excellent clinical pathologic correlation. All of our doctors are board certified in dermatopathology and double boarded in either dermatology or anatomic pathology. With over 100 combined years of diagnosing the most difficult cases, we bring experience, curiosity, and thoughtful care to each case you send us. We review challenging cases daily in our consensus conference, and we welcome your phone calls and photographs on any case you send us. You will find our physicians and staff eager to accommodate your every need: from 24 hr reporting, to a request for an interface, and even the courier pickup at the time you request. We work hard to exceed expectations, because we consider it a privilege that you choose to send your cases to us.

When a biopsy needs more specialized testing, or when a diagnosis is controversial, the doctors at BDL initiate a referral to a consultant at one of the leading academic institutions in the United States.
