“I highly recommend Ball Dermpath. For 29 years, I’ve worked with different labs, most of which had shortcomings with either their pathologists or their front office. Ball Dermpath has great pathologists and a high performing operation. The pathologists are academics who care about making the right diagnosis for the patient behind the slide. A courier picks up my specimens and the turnaround time is quick. Their lab swiftly coordinated with my EMR system. Their process has been reliable and flexible in meeting our needs.”
