While the work in the lab may be behind the scenes it has a big impact on patients’ lives – and we never lose sight of that fact. Each slide represents a person and that helps drive us to provide the most efficient, accurate, and insightful information. While a patient may never come into contact with one of our lab staff members, they can rest assured knowing that we are dedicated to Blue Ocean’s mission to provide the very best dermatology care.
Dermatopathologists

Dr. Apichai strongly believes in a collaborative team approach to patient care and works closely with the practice’s clinicians to discuss complex cases to ensure a precise diagnosis. Dr. Apichai is also an expert in laboratory development and management and serves as the laboratory director.
