June 10, 2026
Dear Patients,
After 24 years of serving this community, it is with mixed emotions that we announce the closure of our medical practice effective July 17, 2026.
Caring for you and your families has been one of the greatest privileges of our lives. We are deeply grateful for the trust, loyalty, and relationships we have built together over the years. It has been an honor to be part of not only your healthcare, but also the ups and downs of life.
While this decision was not made lightly, the changing healthcare environment has made it increasingly difficult for independent solo practitioners to continue providing care sustainably. Though we are saddened to close this chapter, we are excited about what lies ahead.
We are pleased to announce that, effective September 1, Dr. Bonine will join Kaniksu Community Health. This transition allows Dr. Bonine to remain dedicated to his patient population and the community while working within an organization whose mission and values closely align with our own. Together, we share a commitment to providing accessible, compassionate, and high-quality healthcare to the people we serve.
Thank you for allowing us to be your healthcare providers for the past 24 years. We are sincerely grateful for your support and confidence, and we look forward to continuing to serve our community in this new capacity.
With gratitude and best wishes,

Dr. Bonine and Staff

What to Do Next
As we prepare for this transition, we encourage patients to take the following steps:
1. Choose a Primary Care Provider
If you do not plan to continue your care with Dr. Bonine at Kaniksu Community Health, we recommend establishing care with a new primary care provider as soon as possible to ensure continuity of your healthcare needs. A copy of your medical records will be forwarded to your new provider upon receipt of your signed release.
2. Register with Kaniksu Community Health
Patients who wish to continue seeing Dr. Bonine after September 1 should contact Kaniksu Community Health to complete the registration process and establish care within their system. Early registration is encouraged to help ensure a smooth transition. A copy of your medical records will be forwarded to your new provider upon receipt of your signed release.
3. Schedule Any Needed Final Appointments
If you have ongoing health concerns, are due for preventive care, or would like a final visit before the practice closes, please contact our office to schedule an appointment as soon as possible. Appointment availability may become limited as our closing date approaches.
4. Request Medication Refills
Please review your current medications and request any needed refills well in advance of the practice closure. Refills will only be approved for those with current annual physicals (within the last year). This will help prevent interruptions to your treatment and allow sufficient time to process refill requests.
5. Obtain or Transfer Your Medical Records
If you would like a copy of your records, please complete a release of medical records form, and we will prepare them for pickup.
If you have questions about any of these steps, please contact our office. We are committed to making this transition as smooth as possible and appreciate the opportunity to have been part of your healthcare journey.

Erin’s take on it…

This pretty much sucks. The first couple of weeks were okay, the spot on my lip lit up really quickly, and I was surprised at how fast. You can see a white patch in the middle of that growth; it's actually scar tissue from where a Basal Cell patch was removed several years ago. I am guessing that I will need to have additional tissue removed when this is done. Clearly, there is still cancer at the borders of that scar. By mid-week 2, most of the right side of my face was starting to glow red; however, interestingly, there is a significant difference in the amount of skin cancer from the left side to the right side. The lesions are painful, opening and scabbing over, and extremely tender to the touch. Sometimes my face on the pillow will wake me up if it is hitting the wrong spot. As the cells die, the lesions will scab over and eventually heal. This is not a short-term process, but it is not the worst thing I have ever experienced. It’s a good reminder to wear sunscreen every single day!

Skin Cancer -

Prevention

It can’t be said enough that prevention is always better than treatment. You have heard it before, but it is worth repeating.

Sunscreen- Wear it every day, apply it liberally and often when outside. Make sure to cover the tips of your ears!

Cover- Wear a hat! The shade that a good brim offers protection from sun damage.

Don’t Tan- Color is damage! Don’t lie out in the sun to tan and don’t use tanning beds. Tanning beds accelerate the damage-google it.

Protect your children- kids rely on us to keep them safe from all kinds of worldly dangers. This includes sun exposure from an early age. Make sunscreen the everyday norm, not the special outing afterthought.

Avoid the sun during peak hours! Generally, the sun is strongest from 12 noon -2pm, take a nap, stay in the shade, or cover up.

Skin Cancer 4/4

MOHs Sugery

Typically, an MOH surgery is done in a dermatologist’s office. The provider will take shavings from the area of concern and immediately view them under a microscope to determine whether there is a clean margin. A clean margin means that there are no cancer cells near the edge of the excised piece. If they still see cancer cells, they will shave a slightly larger area and examine the tissue to ensure clean margins. This is repeated over and over until the provider is confident that the cancer is completely excised. The area that was removed is then closed with sutures. MOH's surgery is good because, in real time, you know that you have clean margins.

Excision

For cancers that have invaded deeper into the tissue, the only way to remove them is by excision. The Provider will numb the area and, using a scalpel, will remove the lesion and some of the surrounding tissue (looking for clean margins), which will be sent to the Pathologist. The Provider will suture up the site, and then we all wait for the path results. The Pathologist will examine the tissue under a microscope to identify the type of tissue (basal cell, squamous cell, AK, or normal), and will determine whether there are clean margins. The hardest part of this procedure can be when not enough tissue is removed, and the provider has to go back in a second time. This delays healing, can be painful to do the procedure twice, and can take a toll emotionally. This new tissue is sent to Pathology for evaluation.

Radiation, Immunotherapy, Chemotherapy

While rare, these skin cancers can spread; if ignored long enough, cancer cells can travel to other parts of your body. In this case, an oncology specialist would manage your care.
