CSC Steil Dermatology

Dr. Rachel Bognet’s approach to dermatology is rooted in mentorship, curiosity, and a commitment to continual growth. Early influences shaped not only her career path but also how she connects with patients today. “My mentor in residency was most influential in how I practice… with a commitment to fixing even the most challenging cases,” she says, noting that strong clinical fundamentals continue to guide her work.

That mindset has led to a career defined by both compassion and innovation. Treating conditions like eczema, psoriasis, hair loss, and acne, Dr. Bognet has seen rapid advancements in dermatology—many of today’s most effective therapies were not available when she completed her training. Staying engaged with emerging treatments keeps her work both dynamic and rewarding.

At CSC Dermatology, patient relationships are central. Open communication and trust ensure patients feel heard and supported when discussing both medical and cosmetic concerns, allowing for more personalized care.

Looking ahead, she sees precision medicine continuing to transform the field, with genetic testing helping tailor treatments and reduce trial-and-error approaches.

“Improving patients’ lives and restoring their confidence through groundbreaking medicines and cosmetic treatments is extremely rewarding,” she says.

Forty & Flourishing

Aili Flannery’s award-winning sculpture, “Process,” was made of copper, string, copper wire, glass beads, glass, rust-stained fabric, lace, turmeric sun-printed paper, and thread. It represents “the timeline of having depression to the process of healing,” Flannery explained, and the theme is rooted in her own experiences. “‘Start’ shows up again at the end [of the piece], because I was ready to start healing and to continue living.”
