Dr. Richard Orlowski, MD 2406 Century Place Southeast, Hickory, NC 28602

"He has really came through for my husband."

"In 2006 I was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer. A partial mastectomy, and PET study revealed my lymph nodes were involved and I had metastasis to bones. Metastatic breast cancer has no cure, Dr. Orlowski worked diligently to come up with my individualized treatment plan, answered my questions and addressed my general wellbeing. Dr.O continues to provide my care some 17 years later. It’s never easy hearing you have stage four cancer at thirty-nine years old. I followed exactly what Dr.O recommended and I want to thank him and his staff for great care."

"This guy had the bedside manner of a wet mop. My Dad was diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma. He spent at most 20 minutes explaining absolutely NOTHING and at the end of that conversation, tells us that the only treatment available is immunotherapy. 6 months later, my Dad is literally dying and this doctor actually says “well, you can continue to take the treatment or not take it…it’s up to you.” You can’t say that to a 75 year old man with a terminal illness! Patients deserve honesty. This is especially true in oncology where you may not always have the best news to deliver. My Dad sadly passed away last week and up until he was unresponsive, he was in denial about the seriousness of his disease process. Thanks Dr Orlowski…if you had an ounce of courage and honesty, you would have told my Dad to live his best life. Instead, he wasted what little time he had left on the false hope you gave him. Worst experience with any medical professional in my 51 years of life."

"Been seeing Dr. Orlowski since 1986. He is the best. I am thankful everyday for him and his staff."

"God Bless Dr. Orlowski and staff. I was diagnosed with Her 2 breast Cancer in 2015. I was very rare to how sick I got with the aggressive chemo. Dr. O stopped at nothing to get me through this hurdle to make sure I continued treatment. Together we did it & today I am Cancer free.. Dr. 0 and staff treated me like family, very professional, caring & compasionate. The Facility is beautiful & your able to have chemo there which is awesome. Everyone there is so friendly & organized. I don't miss my cancer but sure miss Dr O & his caring, smiling staff. I do to see them at follow ups to get my hugs & beautiful smiles:-)"
