About the Doctor

Dr. Catherine A. Ramsay is a board-trained dermatologist with more than two decades of experience diagnosing and treating a wide range of skin, hair, and nail conditions, as well as providing advanced cosmetic dermatology services. She completed her medical education at the prestigious University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine — one of the nation’s most highly regarded medical institutions — before going on to complete an internship in Internal Medicine at UCSF from 1995 to 1996 and a residency in Dermatology at UCSF from 1996 to 1999. This rigorous academic and clinical training at one of America’s leading medical centers gave Dr. Ramsay a comprehensive foundation across both general and specialty dermatological care.

Dr. Ramsay currently practices at Falls Medical Aesthetics, PLLC, located at 180 First Street W, Suite 301, Ketchum, Idaho, where she works alongside a collaborative team that includes a Family Nurse Practitioner and Physician Assistant. Her subspecialty in Cosmetic Dermatology distinguishes her as a provider who bridges the gap between medical and aesthetic skin care — addressing conditions that affect skin health while also helping patients achieve their cosmetic goals through evidence-based treatments and procedures.

Among her most recognized qualities is the thoroughness of her skin examinations, for which she has earned a perfect patient satisfaction score and a formal patient award. This attention to detail reflects her commitment to not only identifying and treating visible conditions but also catching underlying concerns that less thorough evaluations might miss. Dr. Ramsay holds active medical licenses in both California and Idaho, and she accepts Aetna, Elevance, and Cambia Health Solutions insurance plans. She is currently accepting new patients.

Services Offered

Dr. Ramsay offers a dual-focused practice that seamlessly integrates medical dermatology with cosmetic skin care, providing patients in the Ketchum, Idaho area with access to a comprehensive range of skin health and aesthetic services under one roof at Falls Medical Aesthetics, PLLC.

On the medical dermatology side, Dr. Ramsay provides thorough diagnostic evaluations for patients presenting with chronic skin conditions, sudden rashes, suspicious lesions, or concerns about skin cancer. Her approach to diagnosis is notably meticulous — reflected in her perfect 5/5 patient satisfaction score for thoroughness of examination — and she takes time to evaluate the full picture of a patient’s skin health rather than treating symptoms in isolation. She manages long-term conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, and rosacea with individualized treatment plans that may include prescription therapies, phototherapy, and lifestyle counseling, and she offers regular skin cancer screenings that are essential for patients in sun-exposed environments like the mountain communities of central Idaho.

Her cosmetic dermatology services represent a significant and growing component of her practice. Dr. Ramsay helps patients address aesthetic concerns including signs of aging, skin tone irregularities, unwanted hair or tattoos, and the cosmetic effects of chronic skin conditions. Using advanced, evidence-based cosmetic treatments, she helps patients look and feel their best while maintaining the highest standards of clinical safety and dermatological expertise.
