Local dermatology and cosmetic clinic celebrating 20 years of business
Published at
IDAHO FALLS – Mountain West Dermatology and Esthetics recently celebrated two decades of business in eastern Idaho.
The clinic at 3425 Merlin Drive in Idaho Falls offers general dermatology care, along with cosmetic services, such as exfoliation treatment, facials and facial waxing, and microneedling, including PRP.
It began offering Gentle Cure Oncology in 2022 to offer Image Guided Superficial Radiation Therapy (IG-SRT) for treatment of skin cancers without surgery. This state of the art therapy has been popular among patients with skin cancer on the face or sensitive areas, like the nose or ear.
Meeting patient demand has been challenging, especially when it comes to scheduling appointments. That’s why the clinic is now offering walk-in appointments to give patients greater flexibility and control over their skin care.
“We are pleased to announce a no appointment walk-in dermatology clinic in Idaho Falls – Derm Quick Care. Our goal is to allow patients the flexibility to show up when they have time and have their skin concerns evaluated the same day by a qualified dermatology professional,” Dr. Mark Hinkson says in a news release.
Recruited by Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center to help satisfy the demand for dermatology care in Idaho Falls, Dr. Hinkson opened his practice in August 2004.
“Coming to Idaho was a great move for me and my family. My wife grew up in the area, and we were excited to raise our family here,” says Hinkson.
The team at Mountain West Dermatology now includes Dr. Mark Hinkson, Rob Willis PA-C, Krystal Ray, PA-C, and Wendy Christiansen, Licensed Esthetician.
Mountain West Dermatology and Esthetics is grateful to its patients and those who have supported the practice over the last 20 years. The team is looking forward to serving the community for many years to come.
Derm Quick Care is on a first come, first serve basis. The team recommends patients arrive earlier in the day to make sure they’re able to get the care they need.
Walk-in times are open Tuesday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. to 4 p.m.
“We are excited to offer this unique approach,” Ray says in a news release. “Rashes or warts, acne, mole and skin cancer checks, we take care of all things dermatology. It’s us doing what we do best without the need for an appointment.”
