Testimonials

The Golden State Dermatology Pathology Lab is simply the best dermatopathology group that I've ever dealt with in my 45 years of practice. I enjoy working closely with Dr. Emily Green. She is always available and is extremely helpful with her comments and analysis. The path reports are ready in a timely manner with just the right amount of information and with recommendations that are tailored to the ethical and practical treatment of dermatologic problems. Dr. McCalmont also is accessible and a great resource. I truly enjoy working with the whole team!

Dr. McCalmont is the greatest asset one could possibly add to one's dermatopathology team. He always provides clear and concise consultative opinions with a collaborative and approachable style. He is adept at incorporating the clinic presentation with the histologic interpretation of a biopsy, which is a critical but rare skill. Having the expertise of a world-renowned dermatopathologist readily available to me gives me peace of mind and enhances patient care.

I have been consulting Dr. McCalmont since 2015, shortly after beginning my first job as a dermatopathologist, and his guidance has been invaluable throughout my career. He is remarkably diligent, consistently providing timely and thoughtful consultations. What sets Dr. McCalmont apart is his dedication to education—he often includes full printed articles when discussing unusual or rare diagnoses, turning each case into a learning opportunity. His expertise and commitment have had a lasting impact on both my diagnostic confidence and professional growth.

Dr. McCalmont is not only an amazing dermatopathologist but a kind human being. I can never pay him back for his mentorship and contribution to my career and personal growth as well as our practice through his fast paced consultation service, encyclopedic knowledge and wisdom. He’s a true giant in the field and I’m privileged to know him and fortunate to continue to learn from him.

Dr. McCalmont’s diagnostic precision, expansive knowledge of dermatopathology, and commitment to patient care are truly outstanding. He consistently demonstrates a meticulous attention to detail, a thoughtful approach to complex cases, and a collaborative spirit that not only delivers a helpful report for the patient but serves as a learning tool for future cases. Beyond Dr. McCalmont’s technical expertise, his professionalism, reliability, and dedication to excellence makes him my first choice in consultants.

Dr. McCalmont’s expertise has been invaluable to our practice. His experience as a leader in the field of dermatopathology leads to concise, accurate, and timely reports that we and our clinicians trust. We have preferred to utilize Dr. McCalmont’s consultation service over that of a larger academic institution as it has led to a more personalized experience for us and our patients. 

Dr. McCalmont is an outstanding dermatopathologist whose consults are consistently thorough, timely, and insightful. His diagnostic precision and willingness to discuss challenging cases have been an invaluable guide in my patient care. He is a trusted resource and a pleasure to collaborate with.

I have utilized Dr. McCalmont for dermatopathology consults for over 20 years.  We often send him our most challenging cases including melanomas and lymphoproliferative conditions, and he always does an efficient, thorough workup to give us a diagnosis.  We are fortunate to have Dr. McCalmont as a resource.

Dr. McCalmont is a well-known, world-class Dermatopathologist. Working with him since my time in Arizona and continuing at the Bethesda Dermatopathology Laboratory (BDL) completely upgraded and honed my own practice. Through expert consultations and regular discussions, he is basically a de facto mentor.

After introducing his consultation services, the entire BDL group quickly began sending him cases. The improvement in diagnostic quality was immediate. His turnaround time is unmatched, and his diagnostic accuracy is an immense asset to our patient care goals.

It’s impossible to name a single “best” Dermatopathologist, but Tim is as close as it gets.  More Dermatopathologists and Dermatologists would benefit from his consultations, which would improve patient care, nomenclature, and diagnostic accuracy for the entire field.  

Finally, Tim is also an all-around nice guy who is accessible and responsive.

I greatly value Dr. Timothy McCalmont’s expertise and insight. I have sent him several challenging cases, and his diagnostic precision, thoughtful commentary, and deep knowledge have consistently proven invaluable. His input not only enhances diagnostic confidence but also reflects the highest standards in our field. His diagnostic insight, clear communication, and collaborative approach make him an invaluable resource in complex dermatological cases. Dr. McCalmont’s commitment to excellence consistently enhances patient care and supports clinical decision-making at the highest level.

My dermatopathologist colleagues and I have collaborated with Dr. McCalmont for many years, sending him our most difficult cases for his opinion.  His meticulous approach to analyzing cases and insightful consultations have been invaluable in guiding us and our referring dermatologists in caring for our patients. Dr. McCalmont demonstrates unwavering professionalism, a keen understanding of the issues regarding any particular case, fast turnaround, and a collaborative spirit that fosters trust among colleagues. I am thankful for his world-renowned expertise and recommend him as a consultant to any dermatopathologist staring down a quandary.

Dr. McCalmont provides clear, concise, and timely consultation on difficult cases.  I appreciate the comments that he provides explaining how he arrives at his diagnostic opinion.  It helps me learn.  I also appreciate the ease in sending consultation and how the reports are easily accessible in secure e-mail format.
