Services
Skin Cancer Treatment
Our skin cancer treatment services include advanced diagnostic techniques and specialized therapies like Mohs surgery. We offer photodynamic therapy and surgical excision for precancerous and cancerous lesions. Our board-certified dermatologists provide comprehensive care for melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers, emphasizing early detection through regular skin exams.
Mohs Surgery
Mohs surgery is a precise skin cancer removal technique with high cure rates. Our fellowship-trained surgeons remove cancerous tissue layer by layer while preserving healthy skin. This outpatient procedure includes immediate laboratory analysis to ensure complete cancer removal, making it ideal for facial and complex skin cancers.
Acne Treatment
Our acne treatment program combines medical-grade products with clinical expertise. We offer prescription medications, chemical peels, and personalized skincare regimens. Our dermatologists address hormonal acne, cystic breakouts, and treatment-resistant cases through comprehensive evaluation and targeted therapies.
Botox Injections
Botox cosmetic treatments target dynamic wrinkles caused by facial movements. Our certified providers use precise injection techniques to smooth frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead wrinkles. The non-surgical treatment requires no downtime and produces natural-looking results that last 3-4 months.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels improve skin texture and tone through controlled exfoliation. We offer varying peel strengths to address fine lines, sun damage, and uneven pigmentation. Our estheticians customize treatments using medical-grade solutions to achieve smoother, more radiant skin with minimal recovery time.

Im a new patient and had a really good experience with Dr. B. and everyone I encountered in the practice. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. My prescription was called in right away and my concerns were addressed. I was hesitant to go to this appointment because of some of the reviews here and Im so glad I went. My experience was 100% positive and Im recommending to friends and family.

I am hesitant to write a negative reply, but for the sake of Ohioans' skin I must say how displeased I was. Not only was he not able to clear my foot warts (actually I had to point them out since the doctor could hardly see), their billing department contacted me 4 months after my visit to say they had trouble with my insurance card (during which period I had left my job). Overall incompetent staff from top to bottom sad to say. Not to mention all the overtly sexist literature posted around the office for elective services preying on female insecurity born by evil men.

My son had a skin fungal infection. The doctor never diagnosed him correctly. I finally took him to an urgent care, a physician assistant, made the correct diagnosis and my son was healed. For a dermatologist this doctor is clueless. Look elsewhere for a real dermatologist.

For anyone having Mohs surgery, one should be prepared to ask questions about reconstructive surgery that may be needed afterwards. My mother was an 82 yr old patient with basal cell on top of her nose with no expectation that she would need multiple reconstructive surgeries afterwards given how much of her nose was removed with Mohs by Dr. Bogucki. Reimbursement for Mohs by Medicare/private insurance is much more profitable for physicians than evaluating less aggressive options, especially given the age of patient/health status and future life expectancy with risks of plastic surgery/anesthesia.

Dr Bogucki, what can I say. The absolute best dermatologist. I've been a patient of his for a few years now for different conditions and he is amazing. His bedside manner is 100%. He's very personable, and just down to earth. I just had a procedure done yesterday to relieve some pain I was having and I feel a million percent better today. Thankful for Dr. B for making my procedure as painless as possible and getting me feeling better again! I definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a great dermatologist! He's not only at the Hilliard location but also out east on Taylor Station.

Today was the 4th time that I had an appointment and they called to cancel it and wanted me to come earlier that day because the doctor wanted to leave early. The doctor shouldn't do that to his patients, I made this appointment almost a month ago and switched my work schedule around and now I can't go at all. They called me six hours before my appointment was scheduled to cancel it on me. Very unprofessional, I would not recommend anyone going there because you could be canceled at any point.

Dr. Bogucki is a very passionate doctor with a great bedside manner. He's such a sweet man! He was very professional and reassuring and the lady who took me to my room was very friendly and easy to talk to. I agree with other posts that the front desk could be a little bit better, but still a good place to go overall. I'd recommend!
