High Valley Dermatology – Driggs

High Valley Dermatology – Driggs Satellite Pavilion: Comprehensive Medical, Surgical, and Cosmetic Skin Care for the Teton Valley

To bring dedicated skin cancer interventions and specialized clinical care directly to the high-altitude mountain communities of eastern Idaho, High Valley Dermatology operates a premier specialty satellite pavilion in Driggs, Idaho.

Operating in direct partnership with Teton Valley Health, this extension ensures that patients living along the western slope of the Tetons have seamless local access to board-certified dermatological care. The practice completely cuts out the necessity of driving over the Pine Creek Pass or commuting down into the valley for essential clinical diagnostics. Anchored by the region’s top board-certified dermatologists and fellowship-trained Mohs micrographic surgeons—including Dr. Lindsay D. Sewell, M.D., Dr. Brandon L. Miner, D.O., and Dr. Lena E. Gowring, M.D.—the local pavilion provides an essential medical shield focused on aggressive skin cancer prevention, early clinical diagnostics, and the long-term preservation of your skin’s health.

Comprehensive Local Medical Specialties & Surgical Triage

The Driggs clinic is fully equipped to act as a front-line defense against the intense high-elevation UV radiation common to the Rocky Mountain region:

• Preventative High-Altitude Skin Cancer Screenings: Offering spot-by-spot, meticulous full-body skin checkups and mole mapping designed specifically to catch pre-cancerous actinic keratoses, basal cell carcinomas, squamous cell carcinomas, and deep melanomas early. The staff handles initial biopsies on-site, providing rapid diagnostic processing.
• Comprehensive Medical Dermatology: Expert clinical diagnosis, diagnostic testing, and therapeutic management for chronic and acute skin, hair, and nail disorders across all age groups. The clinical team provides customized treatment paths for pediatric, adult, and geriatric patients struggling with active acne vulgaris, severe eczema (atopic dermatitis), stubborn plaque psoriasis, and rosacea.
• In-Office Surgical Procedures: Providing safe, local, in-office surgical options and localized removals for benign and malignant growths, including cryosurgery, skin and hair biopsies, cyst removals, electrosurgery, and skin tags.
• Direct Fellowship-Trained Mohs Surgery Coordination: For high-risk or aggressive skin malignancies located on visually sensitive areas like the face, scalp, neck, or ears, the Driggs staff coordinates your care directly. Following an on-site biopsy, they map out a rapid, priority transfer to their main state-of-the-art campus, where Dr. Sewell and Dr. Miner execute gold-standard Mohs Micrographic Surgery and immediate plastic reconstructive closures.
• Cosmetic Rejuvenation: Offering customized non-invasive treatment plans to address the structural skin changes associated with high-altitude aging, sun spots, scarring, and wrinkle reduction.
