Dermatology

In the field of medicine, there are a wide variety of specialties — areas of study that require extra training and knowledge. Dermatology is one such area — the medical field of study that focuses on the various skin conditions humans experience. These include everything from psoriasis to skin lesions, acne to dermatitis, and autoimmune diseases to skin cancer.

Effectively addressing the nuances of so many different diseases and conditions requires specialized training and a wealth of knowledge.

At our Dermatology clinic, our friendly and well-trained staff are ready to meet your skin care needs. Whether you require medical care or surgical intervention, our healthcare team is ready to diagnose and treat all manners of diseases and conditions related to skin, hair, and nails, as well as some cosmetic conditions.

Our Dermatology clinic offers the residents of southeastern Idaho diagnosis and treatment of skin conditions through our unique relationship with University of Utah Health. This collaboration allows North Canyon Medical Center to have a dermatology-trained physician assistant (PA) on-site each week to see patients in a location that is convenient for them, without the stress of traveling.

When necessary, our PA can engage with physicians from University of Utah Health via Telemedicine. The Telemedicine network utilizes high-resolution images for physicians to review, in real-time, with the patient and physician assistant. From there, NCMC and University of Utah Health are able to fast track diagnostic procedures, medical treatment, and when necessary, surgery.

In some situations, skin conditions are indicators of more significant problems going on with the body.
