At Ada West Dermatology, our highly-trained staff are committed to providing comprehensive and complete skin care for adult and pediatric patients. By no means comprehensive, here is a partial list of medical skin conditions that we treat:
With the collective knowledge base of 23 experienced clinicians, we are able to expertly diagnose your difficult skin conditions. We have Idaho’s first and only pediatric dermatologist for difficult issues unique to younger patients.
Our office receives dozens of patient referrals daily from regional primary care physicians who entrust us to best diagnose and manage their patient’s problematic skin issues.
Ada West Dermatology’s competent dermatology clinicians take the utmost care to excise your skin lesions with optimal cosmetic results in mind.
Should the need arise to take care of advanced or recurrent skin cancers, Ada Dermatology also has 3 skilled Mohs ACMS surgeons who are fellowship trained to expertly remove and repair difficult tumors.
Pediatric dermatologists know how to examine and treat children in a way that puts them at ease. This expertise gets our patients safe medical treatment, faster relief and healing, and can prevent scarring and other chronic conditions.
“Children are not just little adults. They are not always able to say what is bothering them. They cannot always answer medical questions or be patient and helpful during a medical exam, ” explains Pediatric Dermatologist, Lisa Swanson.
Our treatment philosophy is to help our patients and their parents know which treatment options are available, how they work, and the pros/cons of those options. As Dr. Swanson likes to say, “I’m the navigator and the parents and patients are the captains. It’s my job to describe the options and it’s the patient/parents job to choose which route we take.”
For problematic skin problems, our office has a modern in-house lab that is staffed by 3 skilled dual board-certified dermatopathologists to help with efficient, timely diagnoses. In addition to in-house patients, our accomplished CAP-certified dermatopathology lab is trusted by over 25 medical offices across the state of Idaho and Oregon to process skin biopsy samples.
