Mark's on-air interview with Dr. Kevin Henzel of Memorial Health in Marysville, OH on the new Galleri test

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.


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, in addition to Classic Rock 93X, now heard at 92.9 in Columbus.

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.

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
Jerome Dental

They have done amazing things for me in the past month. I can't wait to tell you about these folks; they're stellar!

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.
