What Affiliated Dermatology does

Affiliated Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery, Inc., operating under the DBA "Affiliated Dermatology Cosmetic Surgery Center," is a family-owned dermatology practice founded April 16, 1984 in Dublin, Ohio by Dr. Dwight Scarborough. The practice delivers medical, surgical, diagnostic, and cosmetic dermatology services from two Ohio locations — its Dublin headquarters at 650 Shawan Falls Drive and a satellite office in Bellefontaine opened in March 2024. The clinical team comprises 7 providers: 3 physicians (Dr. Dwight Scarborough, Dr. Brett Kockentiet, Dr. Richard Scarborough) and 4 mid-level providers (Sarah Landis PA-C, Amy Nutting PA-C, Kate Tloczynski NP-C, Laura Taylor FNP-C), supported by long-tenured billing and administrative staff, several of whom have been with the practice for 25+ years.

The practice operates an integrated four-line clinical stack: General Dermatology (acne, psoriasis, eczema, full skin exams, dermoscopy), Surgical Dermatology with Mohs Micrographic Surgery (claimed >99% cure rate), an in-house CLIA-certified Dermatopathology Laboratory directed by Dr. Richard Scarborough, and Cosmetic Dermatology (Dysport/Botox, fillers, IPL, fractional CO2 laser resurfacing, chemical peels, microneedling). Ancillary operations include a JCAHO-accredited outpatient surgery center (Affiliated Ambulatory Surgery Center, Inc., founded 1999) for tumor excision and Mohs defect reconstruction, two proprietary skincare product lines (Amorederma Cosmetics and Clarity Skincare) retailed in-office and by phone, and an in-house billing department managing contracts with Aetna, Anthem, Cigna, Humana, Medical Mutual of Ohio, Medicare, and United Healthcare.

Revenue is generated through three primary streams: insurance-reimbursed medical and surgical dermatology with copay collected at time of service and balance billed post-claim, cash-pay cosmetic procedures collected at time of service, and direct retail of branded skincare products. Go-to-market is traditional and sales-led: the practice website, Modernizing Medicine patient portal, insurance network participation, peer referrals, and 40+ years of community reputation in central Ohio, with no significant digital advertising footprint.

Direct peers

• QualDerm Partners: Private-equity-backed dermatology platform offering comprehensive medical, surgical (including Mohs), cosmetic, and dermatopathology services across multiple states. Closest scaled analog to Affiliated Dermatology's integrated service model and the most likely acquirer-type peer.
• Forefront Dermatology: Large PE-backed dermatology group with comprehensive medical, Mohs, cosmetic, and pathology services across the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Highly comparable service mix and geographic overlap in the Midwest.
• Pinnacle Dermatology: Multi-location dermatology practice network offering general, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology with in-network insurance contracts. Comparable scale and broad service offering with similar payor mix.
• United Derm Partners: Dermatology-focused management and partnership organization supporting independent practices with operational, billing, and growth infrastructure. A relevant comparator on both clinical model and physician partnership structure.
• Riverchase Dermatology: Multi-office dermatology group offering medical, surgical, Mohs, and cosmetic services with integrated dermatopathology. Comparable full-service, multi-site independent/PE-affiliated practice model.

Regional players

• Bexley Dermatology: Independent dermatology practice serving the Columbus, Ohio metropolitan area with general, surgical, and cosmetic services. Direct local competitor in the same Central Ohio referral market.
• Central Ohio Skin & Cancer: Ohio-based dermatology and skin cancer practice offering medical, surgical, and Mohs services. Competes for the same skin-cancer patient segment in Affiliated Dermatology's primary geography.

Broad incumbents

• Cleveland Clinic Department of Dermatology: Academic dermatology department within a major health system; relevant as a broader incumbent that trains the practice's dermatopathology fellows (Dr. Richard Scarborough) and competes for complex referrals in Ohio.

Emerging players

• Curology: Direct-to-consumer teledermatology and skincare brand focused on acne and anti-aging. An emerging competitor for younger and self-pay patients seeking convenient, lower-friction acne/cosmetic care.

Others

• Quest Diagnostics: National reference laboratory that processes dermatopathology specimens outsourced by practices without in-house labs. Relevant as the structural alternative Affiliated Dermatology has chosen to bypass by operating its own CLIA lab.
