Consultative Services

Clay J. Cockerell, MD

Cockerell Consulting Services provides expert diagnostic and therapeutic opinions for dermatologists that read their own slides, dermatopathologists, pathologists, and hospital systems.

 

Dr. Cockerell's expertise includes rendering diagnoses in difficult cases as well as confirming of diagnoses where the original opinion may be uncertain.  While many of Dr. Cockerell's expert opinions relate to melanocytic neoplasia, he evaluates specimens taken from the entire spectrum of inflammatory and neoplastic diseases of the skin, hair, nails, and mucous membranes. Reports are typically provided within 24-48 hours and are designed to provide you with the best diagnosis possible.  Therapeutic opinions are provided upon request.
