Buckeye Dermatology

What Buckeye Dermatology does

Buckeye Dermatology, Inc. is a multi-location dermatology practice operating three clinics in central and southwest Ohio (Dublin, Grove City, Springfield) with a roster of ten providers and 22 total employees. The practice delivers full-service dermatology across medical, surgical, and cosmetic lines — diagnosing and treating more than 300 conditions including acne, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, skin cancers (melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, actinic keratosis), and pediatric dermatology presentations. Surgical services include Mohs micrographic surgery performed by a fellowship-trained surgeon (offered at Dublin and Grove City), along with excisions and biopsies.

Underlying technology centers on an on-site dermatopathology laboratory accredited by the College of American Pathologists, staffed by two dermatopathologists who also see patients directly, enabling rapid biopsy turnaround and patch testing for contact dermatitis. Patient access is supported by online scheduling and a third-party patient portal (modmed/EMA), bilingual Spanish-speaking providers, and select weekend hours.

Buckeye operates as a fee-for-service professional services practice. Medical and surgical services are billed through a broad insurance panel including Aetna, Anthem BCBS, Cigna, Humana, Medical Mutual, Medicare, Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, Tricare, and the VA Community Care Network, with self-pay options for uninsured patients. Cosmetic services (Botox, Dysport, Juvederm/Restylane fillers, CO2 laser, IPL, chemical peels, tattoo removal) are predominantly self-pay, with financing through a Sunbit partnership. The practice is an affiliate of DOCS Dermatology, a multi-location dermatology group, which provides access to a research department and clinical trials; the Buckeye brand is retained across Ohio locations.
