Columbia University Dermatopathology Laboratory

Laboratory work that relies on precision and expertise often stays behind the scenes—until results matter most. Columbia University Dermatopathology Laboratory fits that mold, quietly supporting clinicians who need answers to skin-related diagnostic questions. The lab handles a range of tissue analyses, including biopsies and complex specimen evaluations, with an emphasis on dermatological cases. It sits within the Washington Heights medical corridor, close enough to major academic centers yet far from the Midtown congestion. The address—630 W 168th St, New York, NY 10032—places it near both Columbia University Irving Medical Center and the uptown residential blocks that stretch toward Inwood. Pick up the phone for scheduling or follow-up: (212) 305-2155. The line connects directly to the administrative team, which coordinates sample intake and report distribution without an extra layer of call centers or automated menus. If the building’s gray stone facade doesn’t give much away, its map leads straight to the loading bay where couriers drop off slides and blocks. No plaza greets visitors, no coffee cart detours—just the kind of unadorned efficiency that suits a lab where accuracy trumps atmosphere.
