About Mark
Hello, I'm Mark Bingaman – longtime Central Ohio radio broadcaster, media dude, and someone who - at 58 years old - is reaching out to medical professionals across the area for help.
I figure there are plenty of my fellow survivors of the 80's & 90's - everyone 45 plus- who also want to learn more about medical options in Central Ohio.
Who are Central Ohio's Best Doctors? Who's doing amazing work for their patients and wants to showcase what's possible today and the latest innovations?
Central Ohio Fine Living: Health is part personal journey, part professional project — and fully designed to help you learn, explore, and connect with better health options throughout Central Ohio and beyond.
Why & How
It started as a personal project. I thought to myself: "I'm working with all of these health providers, and I need so much more, and have so much to learn and so many questions, why not just document the process and turn this into a cool, informational podcast series! Plus make it part of weekly segments and regular guests on the morning radio show." So now the personal project is a public conversation, shared with you every week on:
🎧 Two powerful podcasts:
  • One featuring in-depth conversations with health systems and experts across Central Ohio
  • And one that follows my real-life journey through appointments, procedures, and treatments — from skin cancer care to trigger finger surgery to smoking cessation and beyond
📻 Plus, we talk about it live on The Mid Ohio Breakfast Club, every weekday morning — simulcast on My 96.7 WDLR and Classic Rock 95X.
Together, these shows explore real questions people like us are asking:
  • What do I need to watch for now?
  • Who’s the best specialist near me?
  • What’s that procedure like — really?
And we meet the doctors, dermatologists, surgeons, and providers who are helping people — like me — figure it all out.
You’ll hear from:
  • Dr. George Skandamis at Universal Vein and Dermatology
  • Dr. Gary Millard at OrthoNeuro Dublin
  • Experts from Mount Carmel Health System, including their smoking cessation team
  • And many more to come
So whether you’re looking for answers, options, or just want to follow along — you’re in the right place. Let’s figure this out together.
Subscribe to the podcast. Tune in to the radio. Get smarter about your health.
Team Mark:
Medical Experts I'm Currently Working With
These are my current physicians, health providers, and health systems.
Note: None of these present providers have yet committed to being a part of my podcast & audio series, but I hope and expect they will soon. These are the folks & voices you'll be listening to.
Health System & Smoking Cessation
Mt. Carmel
Mt. Carmel is the preferred health system in network with my insurance provider.
Additionally, the new Mt. Carmel Dublin campus will be the setting for any upcoming trigger finger surgery with Dr. Millard from OrthoNeuro.
I look forward to learning more about what Mt. Carmel & Trinity Health can do to address the myriad health concerns of adults 45+
Orthopedics
OrthoNeuro Dublin
Dr. Gary Millard is my specialist at OrthoNeuro Dublin.
He's recommended surgical repair for trigger finger in all ten of my digits. Follow along as we learn more about this condition and treatment.
Later we'll delve into a wide variety of orthopedic issues for long-term mobility.
Dermatology
Universal Dermatology & Vein Care
Dr. George Skandamis and his team at Universal led the way in eradicating my squamous cell carcinoma of the nose a couple years back.
He continues to treat me with checkups every 6 months and I'm considering other aesthetic treatments & services.
Dentistry
Seeking Endodontist & Dental Specialist
I'm currently looking for a skilled endodontist to join Team Mark as I navigate an urgent need for a root canal.
In addition, I'm actively exploring dental implants, cosmetic procedures, and other medically necessary treatments—and I'm seeking a trusted dental partner to guide me through these next steps.
OrthoNeuro Dublin
Initial Appointment
Visited Dr. Gary Millard at OrthoNeuro's Post Road location in Dublin on Thursday, May 8
Current Concern
Severe pain and stiffness in all ten fingers, significantly worse than previous treatment 3.5 years ago
Previous Treatment
Received shots for trigger finger at OrthoNeuro's Grandview location that helped two fingers
Follow Along
Step-by-step coverage of consultation, diagnosis, and treatment options
Roughly 3.5 years ago, I visited OrthoNeuro's Grandview location for treatment of trigger finger and received shots that helped two of my fingers. Now, the problem has returned with a vengeance — and it's much worse. All ten fingers are affected, with reduced mobility and intense pain that interferes with daily life.
This section will follow my experience step-by-step as I learn more from Dr. Millard, explore possible causes, and investigate treatment options. Whether it's injections, therapy, or other medical interventions, you'll get the inside view of what it's like to seek help for orthopedic conditions right here in Central Ohio.
