Local dermatology and cosmetic clinic celebrating 20 years of business – East Idaho News
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.”

MISSOULA, Mont. — An Idaho Falls angler is back in the Idaho record books after landing a record-setting lake trout at Payette Lake.
Idaho Fish and Game said Dylan Smith caught and released a 43.25-inch lake trout on May 2, setting a new state catch-and-release record for the species. The fish surpassed the previous record of 42 inches.
The catch marks Smith’s second appearance in Idaho’s record books. He previously held the state catch-and-release lake trout record after landing a trophy fish in 2018 before that mark was later broken.
According to Fish and Game, Payette Lake has become one of Idaho’s premier lake trout fisheries thanks to years of management efforts aimed at improving both lake trout and kokanee populations.
Pride Month looks different this June along Boise’s Harrison Boulevard, where a long-standing tradition of hanging Pride flags on lamp posts has been put on hold after a new state law restricted which flags can be flown on government property.
For several years, Pride flags lined lamp posts along Harrison Boulevard in Boise’s North End neighborhood. But Idaho House Bill 561, signed by Gov. Brad Little in March, restricts which flags can be flown on government property, including the City of Boise’s Harrison lamp posts.
In response, a group of neighbors formed Pride North End and launched a distribution effort to help residents show support from their own front yards. The group has been making Pride flags and yard signs available to people who want to display them at home.
“I thought that I would…be a personal example of ‘yes, this is what I do.’ This is what I believe in,” said Edna Schochat, a North End resident.
Pride North End has already distributed more than 900-yard signs and 250 flags. The group’s original donation goal was around $2,000 to order 100 flags and 200 yard signs, but it has exceeded that GoFundMe goal, reaching $10,000 worth of donations.
The group plans to continue holding public flag and sign distributions through the end of the month.
“We cannot just say something without doing something that proves that we mean what we say,” Schochat said.
Pride North End said any leftover funds after materials are distributed will go to local LGBTQ+ nonprofits. A link to the group’s GoFundMe can be found here.
