Podiatric Pathology

Infinite Genomics offers a full range of podiatric services. We are proud to offer board-certified dermatopathologists, allowing us to accept punch and shave biopsy specimens, as well as amputation specimens. Our lab particularly excels at the histologic evaluation of nail specimens with the use of a PAS stain for the diagnosis of onchyomycosis.

We gladly offer onsite epidermal nerve fiber density testing, and can provide cultures through our partnership with an outside laboratory. At Infinite Genomics, we offer the highest-quality podiatric pathology reports on the market. All of our reports include full-color images of your patient’s histology. Our clinical colleagues have given us the feedback that having patients see the dermatophytes that are infecting their toenails helps increase patient treatment compliance. All cancer cases have “CANCER DETECTED” in red at the top to help ensure to alert you and your staff. 

We strive to offer you the highest quality in customer service. You will be contacted by phone with every positive cancer diagnosis, as well as any unusual/unexpected findings. We do this to ensure that our referring physicians are working with the most up-to-date information at all times in the clinical care of their patients. All of our reports contain the signing pathologist’s email, and we encourage anyone with questions to reach out to the pathologist (including patients). We want to be your partners in delivering the highest quality pathology to you and your patients, and see open communication as one of the most important parts in a quality partnership.
