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.”

MERIDIAN — Former Idaho state Rep. Dorothy Moon was elected to her third term as chair of the Idaho Republican Party during last week’s Idaho GOP Convention in Meridian.
Moon announced her candidacy for a third term as chair earlier this month after first being elected in 2022 and again in 2024. In this year’s election, Moon received 306 votes, former Idaho state Sen. Steven Thayn received 155 votes and Mark Fuller, the previous Idaho GOP first vice chair, came in third with 134 votes. In receiving just over 51% of the vote, Moon was able to narrowly avoid a runoff.
In his challenge to Moon, Thayn called for fostering a greater sense of unity among members of the party.
“Unity does not mean uniformity of opinion,” Thayn said in a prior news release on his candidacy. “Nor does it mean forced agreement. Forced unity always leads to tyranny. Real unity is voluntary. It is built through listening, respect, and a sincere effort to solve problems together.”
In the initial announcement of Moon’s campaign, she highlighted improvements to voter turnout and the defeat of the 2024 ranked-choice voting ballot initiative as among key party successes during her most recent term.
BLACKFOOT — A large contingent of Blackfoot Police officers has cordoned off an area near the Taco Bell on Parkway Drive in Blackfoot.
Police responded around 5 p.m., according to multiple witnesses who contacted EastIdahoNews.com.
EastIdahoNews.com has reached out to Blackfoot Police for details.
We will update this story as we learn more.

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.
