Montana winters are beautiful, but they're brutal on your skin.

Between the low humidity, wind, and cranked-up indoor heating, dry skin is practically a way of life here. It doesn't have to be, though. Swipe through for our favorite tips to keep your skin happy all season long.

And if your dry skin is more than just dry (symptoms like cracking, bleeding, or itching that won't quit), it might be time to see us. Give us a call to schedule an appointment. 🩵

Please join us in welcoming Garrett Perkins, PA-C, to Dermatology Associates.

Garrett joined our team in September 2026, bringing with him a strong foundation in medicine—and a family legacy in dermatology. His journey in healthcare began in 2020 as a medical assistant, and he soon followed in the footsteps of his family. Garrett’s father is a dermatology physician assistant, while his grandfather was a dermatologist and physician. With dermatology woven into his family history, Garrett found his own path in the specialty and earned his Master of Physician Assistant Studies from Lincoln Memorial University in Knoxville, along with a Bachelor of Health Science from Brigham Young University–Idaho. Beyond medicine, Garrett has a deep connection to Montana’s outdoors. An experienced fly fishing guide, he has logged 370+ guided fly fishing trips throughout Montana and Yellowstone National Park, guiding professionally during multiple summers between 2016 and 2022. We’re excited to have Garrett bring his clinical expertise, genuine passion for patient care, and Idaho roots to Dermatology Associates.

Welcome to the team, Garrett!

What is Mohs surgery? 🔬 If you've been diagnosed with skin cancer, you may have heard this term. Mohs is a highly precise treatment where skin tissue is removed layer by layer and examined under a microscope in real time, all while you're in the office.

That means every cancer cell is confirmed gone while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible. Mohs is performed right in our office under local anesthetic by Dr. Blake Sampson, so you'll be awake and comfortable the whole time. After numbing the area, Dr. Sampson removes the visible portion of the cancer, then examines the roots that extend beyond what the eye can see. Each thin layer of skin is frozen, stained, and examined under a microscope. If any tumor cells remain, another layer is removed precisely where the cancer is, and the process repeats until there's no evidence of skin cancer left. The wound is then closed with minimal scarring.

Mohs is the most effective treatment for certain skin cancers, which makes it a great option for highly visible spots like the head and neck.

Have questions about Mohs or a spot you've been keeping an eye on? Give us a call. Early detection saves lives.

Next time you’re in the office, keep your eyes peeled and see how many you can find. 👀

The best sunscreen isn't necessarily the most expensive or the trendiest—it's the one you'll actually wear consistently. ☀️

Daily SPF helps protect your skin from:
UV damage • Premature aging • Skin cancer

Look for a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher and find a formula that works for your skin and your routine. Because when it comes to sun protection, consistency matters. Every day. Every season. Even in Montana.
