Default Skin Biopsy- Valid? Invalid?

While reading the thread on SilverLady's Mayo experience I read that Mayo doesn't believe the skin biopsy is a valid test for small fiber neuropathy.
Is that still true?
The only test I have had that confirms small fiber neuropathy is the skin punch biopsy . I will be getting some auto-immune testing soon from
a neurologist who trained in PN at Mayo.
However my current neurologist has based his diagnosis on the skin biopsy.
Does anyone have more information on this issue?
Thanks so much and for those of you who work so hard providing us newbies with resources and support. Thank you Thank you Thank you.
