As the sun comes out our thoughts can easily turn to how we hope to get some nice coloring. Unfortunately, exposure to the sun and UV rays can have some harmful consequences. Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States and worldwide, with more than 9,500 people diagnosed in the US every day. 

Diagnosis is followed by treatment, which is a specialty of Ogden Clinic dermatologist Dr. Chad Tingey. Dr. Tingey practices the most advanced method of skin cancer removal: Mohs Surgery; this exact and precise method of skin cancer removal was part of Dr. Tingey’s unique fellowship-training by the American College of Mohs Surgery (ACMS).  

Plagued by tummy troubles? Sometimes we avoid taking care of any digestive conditions due to fear or the stigma associated with them. Great news. In this bonus podcast episode, we sat down with Ogden Clinic gastroenterologist Stacie Egan to get the scoop how life can be better without a digestive condition. Stacie shares advice and insight on gastroenterology and what is available to be seen and treated during the first phase of the economy reopening. 

With the overlap of springtime allergies and the spread of COVID-19, it may be difficult to determine if your symptoms are typical for this time of year or signs of something more serious. It seems like every throat tickle, nose drip, or cough is suspect: do I have coronavirus? 

We’re here with Dr. Douglas Anderson, Ogden Clinic Ear, Nose, and Throat Physician to answer common questions about dealing with allergies during COVID-19.

As the state progresses forward with reopening the economy, we wanted to update our audience on how such changes will impact us and how we can stay safe. Dr. Nadim Bikhazi sat down with us to answer our questions for this COVID-19 update.

Within 36-hours, Ogden Clinic Orthopedic specialist Dr. Michael Hall was called, recruited, and on a flight to the frontlines assisting with COVID-19 efforts in New York City.

As we take into consideration how our world has seemed to be flipped upside down due to our current global pandemic, it would make sense that the many lifestyle changes with uncertainties would be taking a toll on our mental health and emotions. 

We sat down virtually with Dr. Daniel Chappell, one of our family medicine providers from our Ogden Clinic Farmington location to talk about dealing with stress during hard times.

We sat down with Ogden Clinic's Dr. Nadim Bikhazi for another weekly update on COVID-19's "blind spots". Dr. Bikhazi highlights some points that have been overlooked such as the importance of vitamin C and zinc, using face coverings, and Utah's current standing with the pandemic.

Heavy hand-washing and wearing face masks for prolonged amounts of time can be hard on the skin. Ogden Clinic Dermatologist Dr. Lori Ramirez gave us some excellent tips on how to keep skin soft and moisturized. Between her awesome daily at-home skin regimen and tips for getting skincare with Telemedicine, Dr. Ramirez's advice will keep your hands soft and applauding the results.

With each day there are advancements with COVID-19, which can sometimes be overwhelming. We talked last week with Ogden Clinic's Dr. Nadim Bikhazi about overlooked positive points (we call them blindspots) and wanted to get an update on the bright side and blindspots of COVID-19. We see this weekly update as an opportunity to recalibrate expectations and provide calm information about the Coronavirus.
