Katherine A Orlick Md's Online Review Report Card

Kathy is an amazing Doctor, you can tell she's in the right profession following her passion. She cares about people more than any Dr I've ever visited. I truly felt heard. Thank you, Doc.

Dr. Powell was incredible! My husband went in for a lump removal on the top of his head. Dr. Powell was super friendly and personable. She was quick and precise. Dr. Powell was professional and courteous. I would highly recommend requesting her for procedures. My husband and I are fans.

I recently had a full body skin cancer exam at your clinic. The PA was Ms. Myers. The examination was wrapping up without Ms. Myers having found any concerns on my skin needing immediate attention. As I was about to get dressed, in walked an older woman, a physician if I remember correctly, who glanced down at my arm and said, "Let's take a picture of that and check in again at the next appointment (in one year)". A photo was taken, and I dressed and left. No one asked me to schedule another follow-up appointment and I did not. I will explain.As I told Ms. Myers, my mother, father and brother all have melanoma. I've had basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas. Even so, I would guess that Ms. Myers did not spend more than 1-3 minutes on my exam. There was no exam of my scalp, in-between my toes, buttocks, genitals, mouth, and what she did examine was looked at with such speed that I knew I was going to have to go to another dermatologist for a thorough check up.I immediately made an appointment with Dyson Dermatology (2/10/22). The PA in charge found 3 precancerous sites on my face and treated them with nitrous oxide. She also found a suspicious 'freckle' (the same one your PA took a photo of) and said, "Oh, we need a biopsy of that." Sure enough, the biopsy came back as a malignant melanoma.I am seeking treatment at the Mayo Clinic. Mayo doctors have requested the names of all the providers that examined my skin in the last months. I gave them your name and number. If for some reason you are contacted by the Mayo Clinic this would likely be the reason.I was terribly disappointed by cursory examination I received by your PA. Even the physician who suspected a potential problem did not request a biopsy or even indicate that I needed a follow up appointment.Sadly, it is only because I'm a highly educated professional that I understand that the medical system fails far too many patients far too often; that only those who are capable and willing to advocate on their own behalf, to make calls and follow up, get the medical care (if they are lucky) they need and deserve. I would imagine that a little more care and attention to your patients, with less attention to your bottom line, would make your clients (and even you, I suspect) much happier and healthier.

Dr Orlick is terrific! She did laser treatment on my face for terrible acne scars. She does my skin checks every year. She is very personable. She answers all my questions as well as just having a friendly conversation. Her appointments are booked so that she is not rushing in and out of patient examining rooms. The staff are nice, especially the technicians and nurse in the back. The office is clean and the services offered are varied. I recommend her to all my new neighbors .

I have had my spider veins injected a couple of times, and I was very happy with the results.

I can't rate the doctor herself, because unfortunately the office staff has yet to call me back to schedule an appointment. The machine says to leave a message to schedule an appointment and they'll return the call. Well, it's been 3 weeks, 3 messages, no call. They even have a script. It's fine-I have an appointment elsewhere. I'm sure she is great, but the staff is not so much.

Dr Orlick is a wonderful physician. She takes the time to listen to your problem or problems and advises the best treatment. She is kind, patient and fun. You will not be disappointed when you make an appointment with her or any of her colleagues at Foothills Dermatology.

Dr Orlick is kind thoughtful and helped me in one visit .Great care and atmosphere . Thank you !

Dr. Orlick is way to hurried when treating lesions with liquid nitrogen. She pressed the lesions on my scalp with the cotton swab dipped in liquid nitrogen but for only 2 to 3 seconds, which proved to be way too short to cause the killing of the small lesion cells. A few days later my lesions returned to the original size and I had to go to a different dermatologist who applied the liquid nitrogen with the cotton swab and kept it there for 15 seconds; that did the job. Dr. Orlick was acting annoyed when I asked her a couple of questions related to my condition. I felt all in all that I was rushed through and was very dissatisfied with the treatment (that was totally insufficient).

Best ever, thorough, caring, knowledgeable! Highly recommend Dr. Orlick. I developed a worsening skin issue following gall bladder surgery; she promptly brought me into the office, assessed, diagnosed and began treatment for the problem. Very grateful for her expertise and caring manner.
