About Us - Bridge Dermpath

Bridge Dermpath

A bridge of knowledge between us, you and your patients.

Bridge Dermatopathology Services PLLC, founded by Mark Jacobson, M.D. and Paul Chu, M.D. is a physician owned practice that specializes in the field of dermatopathology.

Drs. Chu, Jacobson, Brinster , Henneberry, Larson and Trivedi have collectively diagnosed over 3 million skin biopsies. We do not work for private equity firms, venture capital firms, or shareholders. We are a patient-centric and clinician-centric practice. Over 90% of our reports are delivered to referring clinicians within 24 to 48 hours.

We practice efficiently, recognizing the burden of patients’ high out-of-pocket expenditure. With our extensive experience and skill, less than 2% of our cases require special stains and immunohistochemical studies, enabling us to practice pathology with precision and fiscal prudence.

Bridge Dermpath endeavors to partner with clinicians who share our passion for medical care that mandates accurate and practical pathology reports that enhance the management of their patients’ dermatological needs.

It has been a pleasure to work with you for the past many years, but even more so this past year. It’s refreshing to deal (once again) with a small physician-run medical organization, with competent professionals and paraprofessionals, where there is accessibility and accountability, and helpful support staff! It is a relief and a pleasure to be able to place my trust confidently in your laboratory and in you. I hope you are enjoying the autonomy, and that you are finding gratification in your excellent work and in running your new enterprise, and that our paths cross sometime soon in person.”
