Testimonials

Having [the patient diagnosis explanation] with the pathology report helps…them understand their disease
The patient info is well written and understandable. Although we have lots of information, finding it when you need it is the problem. Having it with the pathology report helps. It takes four encounters with a patient for them to understand their disease or condition. The PDPA program can help with at least one of those encounters.
Saves us time
The Point of Diagnosis Patient Advocacy (PDPA) program saves us time explaining to the patient the information [Inform Diagnostics] now provides.
Our experience with [Inform Diagnostics] is all on the good side. The lab staff is responsive, prompt and accurate.

Positive all the way around

My experience with [Inform Diagnostics] has been positive all the way around. The staff are professional and prompt. They not only offer assistance but see it all the way through to problem resolution. I appreciate the professional relationship and easy access to Howard [Gervasoni], Zac [Whaley], and Amberlyn [Abbott], as well as their diligent efforts to make our needs a priority. They never fail to work as a team to ensure a seamless interface experience.

EMA Derm has provided an avenue for complete transition and utilization of electronic medical records—from pathology follow-up to having the ability to provide the pathologist with clinical notes and photos of difficult clinical cases. This experience allows me to have confidence that I’m providing the best ‘up to date’ care for my patients. I appreciate having direct access to pathologists and their willingness to offer assistance when I need them.

We recommend [Inform Diagnostics] to any breast radiologist, surgeon or oncologist

Women’s Center for Radiology uses [Inform Diagnostics] for breast pathology. Our radiologist and staff have been pleased with the service from the team at [Inform Diagnostics]. With its unique consensus approach and commitment to research, we are more confident in the diagnoses we received.

From years of performing breast biopsies, prior to using [Inform Diagnostics], we often questioned the lab, as the pathology did not match our suspicions. With the partnership approach to our breast pathology, we are confident that our clients are getting quality readings.

In summary, we recommend [Inform Diagnostics] to any breast radiologist, surgeon or oncologist. We are sure the experience you receive from [Inform Diagnostics] will be exceptional.

High-quality, clinically relevant pathology reports
In 2002, the Fort Worth Endoscopy Center and Southwest Fort Worth Endoscopy Center began relying on [Inform Diagnostics] Life Sciences for evaluation of our gastrointestinal tissue specimens. Within only a few years, all of our staff physicians were sending 100% of our tissue specimens to [Inform Diagnostics] Life Sciences because of their prompt (24-48 hr), high quality, clinically relevant pathology reports. The...relationship between our medical staff and the gastrointestinal pathology specialists of [Inform Diagnostics] has served both our patients and physicians very well.
Light years ahead of competitors
[Inform Diagnostics] is so much more organized than any other lab. They’re really light years ahead of their competitors in quality and data.

[Inform Diagnostics] dermatopathologists go beyond quality and accuracy

I can’t say enough good things about our experience with the entire [Inform Diagnostics] team. The turnaround time from the lab is excellent, and it’s reassuring to know that only board-certified dermatopathologists are reviewing our specimens. Another huge bonus is that if we send them a tough case, they are able to review it at their case conference, so we get the reassurance that several experienced dermatopathologists have reviewed it and come to a consensus. This is not only reassuring for our physicians, but also for our patients. I am 100% confident with the [Inform Diagnostics] pathologists’ diagnoses.

[Inform Diagnostics] dermatopathologists are quick to respond to any questions that we have and always call on melanoma patients. [Inform Diagnostics] dermatopathologists go beyond quality and accuracy—they not only provide accurate diagnoses, but they do it in a timely manner. I once had a case that I was concerned about and had a question on. The dermatopathologist that had read it was on vacation when I called [Inform Diagnostics]—I was shocked when I received a phone call from him minutes later! True dedication!

Client services and technical support are extremely attentive to our needs and answer any questions in a matter of minutes, not hours. If we need supplies, we usually receive them by the next day. In addition, [Inform Diagnostics]’s sales team is exceptional. Unlike most sales personnel, they are not pushy and genuinely want to know how they can make our office flow run smoother.

EMA Derm has changed our practice by keeping our office flowing smoothly. We tested several dermatology-specific EMRs, and by far, EMA was the most user friendly. No more paper charts taking up space and no more wasting 20 minutes searching for a chart—EMA puts it all at our fingertips. Because of this interface, we are able to allow the dermatopathologist to read the patient’s clinical history and even see a photograph of the patient’s skin condition. Being able to send a clinical photo or note to our [Inform Diagnostics] dermatopathologist along with the biopsy ensures that they get the ‘entire’ picture, allowing them to give us a more definitive answer on the biopsy report. Armed with this information and the biopsy, it gives the dermatopathologists more information to base their diagnosis on. Being able to tell patients that we have this capability gives them confidence in the diagnosis they receive.

I highly recommend [Inform Diagnostics] for dermatopathology

I have used [Inform Diagnostics] for the past six years for histopathologic examination of skin specimens obtained in my dermatology practice. I have always found their reports to be well written, easy to understand and summarized quite nicely. They have never abused the privilege of using special stains for their own profit, and yet when special stains were performed, they were always appropriate to the case and helpful to me.

Their reporting language has been clear, concise, to the point, and helpful. Their differential diagnoses have been always on point, and usually summarized in decreasing order of likelihood. On many occasions, the pathologist himself has picked up the phone and called me to discuss the case and learn my clinical impressions. As you can imagine, that is invaluable to both of us.

Their reports are timely, on any malignant melanoma I get an immediate written confirmation, and I ALWAYS get a phone call directly from the pathologist. In such cases, they are careful to mention that those cases were reviewed by a panel of their experts in-house, and sometimes were sent to outside experts as well. This is always comforting to me, particularly in a case wherein there may be atypical pigmented tissue and a consensus opinion has been reached. In fact, they have even gone to the trouble of naming the dermatopathologists whether inside their organization or in outside academic institutions they have consulted.

It must be obvious by now that I highly recommend [Inform Diagnostics] for dermatopathology examinations, and I certainly intend to continue using their services. Although I have never met any of them in person, I feel they are my friends because we have spoken both medically and socially on the phone during these consultations. They often ask me as many clinical questions about the patient as I ask them histopathological questions regarding their own differential diagnoses.

I recommend using their laboratory and physicians most highly and without reservation. I might also add that in six years I have never had one specimen mixed up, lost, or received any phone call “apologizing” for confusing one specimen with another, even on the same patient. This is rare. You will not regret your decision to use them.

Rapid access to their results
The entire team is extremely helpful, very available and hands on! They are very quick to reply to any patient inquiries and if we have lab questions. Also if there is a potential lab result which requires immediate attention, they are very efficient in getting that message through to us.

The main patient benefit I’ve seen is that they have rapid access to their results. This is also because Jose [De La Rosa] has set us up with daily lab pick-up, so now we can give our patients their results within 3-5 days as opposed to two weeks.

[Inform Diagnostics] lab has been great. The pathologists always give accurate and specific information, they request stains and notify us every step of the way if there are delays, etc. We enjoy working with Jose and the whole [Inform Diagnostics] team and look forward to continuing to do so. Thanks!

You will be very pleased if you choose [Inform Diagnostics]
We have been using [Inform Diagnostics] for about 20 months, and they are outstanding. They have a daily conference with all of their Dermpaths across the country where they [collaborate on] tough cases. [Inform Diagnostics] has long been our group, and [our practice is] very happy with them and reassured by their special daily conference and big name Derms. They have overridden several diagnoses from local known-dermpath groups that have [resulted in] big changes in care. You will be very pleased if you choose [Inform Diagnostics]. They are on top of it: photos are great, special stains only when needed, and quick service, too.
The most supportive client service team
The entire [Inform Diagnostics] team has been the most supportive client service team we have ever dealt with. After 18 years as a clinical supervisor with our practice, I have been most impressed with the accessibility and commitment of the entire team to facilitate any and all services available to help grow our practice with the most current tools available. From Amberlyn [Abbott], our sales rep, to Lindsay [Alexander] and Zac [Whaley], our technical support, we have never heard, ‘I don’t know’ or ‘We do not do that.’ They are the most dedicated team to find answers. If they don’t have them, they find them!!

Commitment to excellence is evident

We often call EMA one of the most valuable parts of our staff, one that we enjoy working with and couldn’t imagine caring for patients without. The [Inform Diagnostics] interface to EMA Dermatology is a powerful tool for accurate and thorough follow-up and tracking of biopsy results. There is simply no comparison to the manual logs we used to keep, particularly since this allows for all of our staff to easily access crucial information at the point of care.

[Inform Diagnostics]’s commitment to excellence is evident in the extremely high quality of its dermatopathologists and highly dedicated and professional support staff—including the sales director, technical director, client support specialist, and account representative. Their dermatopathologists work in a uniquely collaborative environment dedicated to continued education and the advancement of knowledge, bringing their world-class expertise to bear on each patient’s histopathological findings. The uniform terminology provided clearly communicates the histologic findings and helps to define an individualized treatment path for each patient.

If I have any questions, the [Inform Diagnostics] dermatopathologists are easily accessible via a quick email or phone call. [Inform Diagnostics] and EMA Dermatology allow us to focus on providing excellent patient care, knowing that our practice partners are helping us to negotiate and overcome an ever-shifting practice landscape. We, our patients, and all [Inform Diagnostics] clients are truly fortunate to have such impressive resources at our disposal!

Very positive experience...with the entire [Inform Diagnostics] team

With EMA Derm, I feel my notes are more accurate. I really like being able to incorporate digital photos for rashes/lesions into the note. The [Inform Diagnostics] pathology interface with EMA Derm streamlines the work, making it easier and more efficient. I really like being able to pull up the path results on the iPad and review them with the patient. Sending clinical photos helps with clinicopathologic correlation. As the saying goes, ‘A picture is worth a thousand words.’ EMA Derm and the structured data from [Inform Diagnostics] have made the process much easier!

Not only do I trust the diagnoses from [Inform Diagnostics] pathologists, but I appreciate their willingness to call if they have questions. In addition, difficult path diagnoses are reviewed [at [Inform Diagnostics]] by more than one doctor.

[Inform Diagnostics]’s technical account team provided excellent help and assistance, as well as were very responsive to questions. It’s been a very positive experience working with the entire [Inform Diagnostics] team. They are professional, personable, and have helped us utilize technology more effectively.

Dermatopathologists are very easy to work with and will pick up the phone
We have worked with [Inform Diagnostics] for more than a year, and they have been incredibly helpful and efficient! The dermatopathologists are very easy to work with and will pick up the phone to discuss pathology if there are any questions. We work closely with Jackie Zamojski and Zachary Whaley—both are professional, helpful and very easy to work with. They are a wonderful team that has made our job easier!

I can’t express enough how helpful [Inform Diagnostics] has been

Before using EMA, we were paper based. Our use of EMA became exponentially more efficient once we partnered with [Inform Diagnostics]. We like the seamless integration of path reports. So instead of needing to find a paper report and scan it into EMA, the results integrate right into the chart.

The patient experience is very different since using the EMR. Instead of running around when the patient arrives for suture removal—‘Where’s their path? Is it pulled? Is it in their chart? Is it in a pile? Is it in a folder?’—we simply now pull it up on the desktop. And we get fewer phone calls from the [Inform Diagnostics] pathologists, because the company that we used before would call us: ‘What was the morphology? What did it look like? Is it a rash? Is this is lesion? What are you trying to rule out?’ And now that we can send [our] notes to the lab, we get fewer calls from [Inform Diagnostics] dermatopathologists.

If you’re not on EMA, you should get EMA—it’s wonderful. And if you’re using EMA, you sure should be using [Inform Diagnostics]. I can’t express enough how helpful [Inform Diagnostics] has been to us.

We ran these studies that confirmed [their] diagnosis, and the patient now is doing great.
[Your dermatopathologist] recently had a great pick-up on a tough case. One of my patients was not improving with treatment. I sent a new biopsy to Inform Diagnostics, and [your dermatopathologist] called me to discuss his diagnosis of urticarial bullous pemphigoid and recommended immunofluorescence. We ran these studies that confirmed this diagnosis, and the patient now is doing great.
