Dr. Garron Solomon came to StrataDx with a broad and deep base of knowledge and skill in dermatopathology. He blossomed, with seasoning, to become a valued and respected dermatopathologist in the Boston area. His knowledge of both dermatology and dermatopathology allowed him to go the extra step in clinicopathologic correlation.

His communication skills conveying nuance in diagnoses fostered good relationships with clinicians allowing them to better care for their patients. He was a favorite teacher of dermatopathology of the Harvard Dermatology residents.

Dr. Solomon immediately stood out as one of the brightest and most capable medical students at the University at Buffalo. His hard work and keen insight quickly set him apart from his peers. I have followed his progress closely as he pursued advanced training with internationally recognized experts Drs. Cynthia Magro and A. Bernard Ackerman.

Dr. Ackerman shared with me that he was also very impressed with Dr. Solomon’s ability and work ethic. I am confident that you will be pleased with the quality and accuracy of Dr. Solomon’s consultative services.

I have known Dr. Garron Solomon since 2006 in my capacity as Professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Cornell University where I function as the director of dermatopathology. I have always considered Garron one of the smartest and talented pathologists that I have encountered in my career as a pathologist, not only at Cornell University but at other universities where I have been affiliated including Harvard University, Jefferson Medical College and Ohio State University.

Dr. Solomon is a very gifted diagnostician whose primary focus has and remains the patients he serves. He has worked extensively in the field of dermatopathology, developing a very sophisticated approach to all aspects of dermatopathology be it in the context of inflammatory skin disease, non-melanocytic neoplasia, atypical lymphocytic infiltrates or melanocytic lesions. I personally know that Dr. Bernard Ackerman considered Garron as one of his most talented fellows in the many decades that he had been training young dermatopathologists. To each and every case, he brings his meticulous attention to detail where nothing is mundane or inconsequential.

On a personal note, Garron is a wonderful person who embodies many of the most important attributes that we value in others including those of integrity, humility, gratitude, respect and kindness. He is a devoted husband and father to ahis lovely wife, Dr.Sheel Desai Solomon and their beautiful son Max. I have no doubt that Garron will provide a premier service not only to the North Carolina dermatology community but also at a national level. I will conclude by saying that I am very proud that I served as a mentor for Garron; to date he has lived up to and exceeded the very high expectations that I have always held for him.

Dr. Garron Solomon is the quintessential diagnostic pathologist. He possesses extraordinary expertise in the fields of dermatopathology and breast pathology. Garron has trained with some of the most highly regarded pathologists at some of the finest academic institutions anywhere. Garron is intelligent and diligent as well as conscientious and compulsive.

The aforementioned qualities ensure that his cases are carefully worked-up and thoughtfully diagnosed. Above all, Garron’s uncommon clinical insight is reflected in his authoritative diagnostic opinions which are invariably meaningful for the purposes of management.
