Dermapathology

Staff_AbbottOur Skin Cancer Center is equipped with an on-site fully accredited dermatopathology lab.  When lesions are surgically removed (through biopsy, excision, or Mohs surgery), the tissue is processed on-site and prepared for a microscopic evaluation. Dr Craig Abbott is one of only two Board-certified dermatologists in Oklahoma who is also Fellowship trained and Board-certified in Dermatopathology. He reads every microscopic slide of patients treated at the Skin Cancer Center. This allows us to completely treat each cancer through each phase: evaluation, diagnosis through pathology, and ultimate curative therapy depending on the type of cancer.
