Dr. Laing is probably the best doctor I've ever had in my life...not just dermatologist...doctor. Dr. Laing has been my doctor for fifteen years, since 2007. She was recommended to me by a special clinic for skin diseases. She's highly intelligent, and describes, in laypersons' terms, procedures and issues, in detail, if you want to know. I do. I am the type of person that wants to know what the doctor is doing, results, recommendations, and details on why, for all of those mentioned. She has found and removed or had removed five Basel cell carcinoma spots. Some required Moh's Procedure. Some did not. She removed more atypical cells than I can count. She measures each mole and blemish on your body, the first annual visit, so she has a baseline for the future, should one appear to grow. Dr. Laing uses a magnifying glass to get a close up on, again, each mole and blemish to find abnormal details faster than the naked eye. She looks over every inch of your body to be thorough. Skin cancer and diseases are not only on parts of your body exposed to sun which did happen to me and was promptly removed. I had Moh's Procedure, a special type of removal of Basel cell to immediately get all of the cancer while removing the smallest safe margin around it, at the University of Michigan. This was the first time I had an area removed. You have completely separate doctors when that is done, dermatologist at her office vs. surgeon at UofM hospital. The surgeon working on me asked me who my doctor was. When I told him, he said, "She's a HAWK!" Her reputation is that she is the best dermatologist in Ann Arbor and Saline. This is per family, friends, acquaintances, strangers I end up in random conversations with, and me. The woman misses nothing, takes essential action, completes the full procedure to remove items, AS WELL AS keeps the scar as small as safely possible. My first Basel cell was odd. It was a dry spot. The other four were round, red circles with a mole appearance. I told her I'd had it for a year, and heavy creams only make it subside until I stopped using them. I had gone in for a lump on my shin, but had her check this out too. The lump was fine, but she said, "I want to test that. I don't like the way it looks." It was on my left cheek. It did indeed turn out to be cancer. Moh's Procedure and reconstructive surgery were done on it by UofM. There is no scar. I had another facial Basel cell spot that was 3/4 of an inch below the hairline and one along the part in my hair, both also had Moh's with reconstructive surgery. One scar looks like an age line. The other is easily hidden by slightly shifting the part. The Basel cell and medical issues are the first concern and are covered with the highest professionalism, but I thought people would like to know this as well. The people doing the surgery are the ones she recommends. She gives strong suggestions on the best clothing for damaged and preventing damaged skin by the sun as well as how to choose the best sunscreens. There is no base this dermatologist does not cover in skin care as well as mass amounts of kindness. She is gold! read more

I want to thank Dr. Laing for sending me to Kellogg Eye Center after checking a very small spot on my lower eye lid. This spot was more like a discoloration and I almost walked out without showing it to her. She did not hesitate to tell me to have a biopsy. I made the appointment but before I went, I also had an eye appointment with my opthalmologist.. I showed it to him. He thought it was nothing and said I probably didn't need to keep to go to Kellogg. I almost cancelled that appointment but decided if Dr. Laing thought I should go, I would trust her judgement. Dr. Christine Nelson, a great plastic eye surgeon at U of M Kellogg Eye Center, who did my biopsy asked me who my dermatologist was. When I said it was Dr. Laing, she said; " I trust her judgement." A few days later I learned I had squamous cell carcinoma on the bottom lid of my eye. I eventually had MOHS surgery at U of M after which I was sent to Dr. Nelson for plastic surgery. (Her skills as a plastic eye surgeon are amazing). That small spot on my eye lid ended up being much more extensive than anyone expected. Again, thank you Dr. Laing, for recognizing that that small spot was more than a discoloration, and encouraging me to have it checked out at the U of M Kellogg Eye Center. read more

Dr. Leing has absoultly no manners what so ever. She is so damn rude. I would literally love to use the F-Word to describe my visit but as a courtesy I wont. I went to see this doctor to resolve my facial blisters that werent going away. In that meeting she told me that I dont have any blisters and that it was all an illusion. This crappy doctor then pulled my hair and kept squeezing my face. She kept telling me, "oh there is no problem. " Then she rubs into her face that I have acne. Finally this crappy mannerless doctor screams at me and says, "STOP ARGUING WITH ME I HAVE 30 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE. " I was shocked that a women of this nature was given a medical license. I looked in her office and there were no patients which means she sucks. After that harresment she still sent me a bill and keept bugging me to pay it. I have proof. What ever you do dont ever consider going to this animal. All the other reviews listed that have five stars are people in her office who have written those reviews. DR. LEING IS A FRAUD!!!!! read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Laing for several years and have had a great experience each and every time I visit. She is knowledgeable, professional and able to communicate your medical diagnosis and treatment options in a clear and concise way. She presents the choices for treatment and discusses the pros and cons of each so that you are part of the decision making process. Dr.Laing always has a smile on her face when she walks in and makes you feel comfortable in what can be a stressful experience. You can tell she loves her job and cares about her patients. The health of her patients is her top priority. Believe it or not she is always on time! However when Dr. Laing comes in she is never in a hurry and takes time to answer any questions that you may have about your treatment. She is at the top of my list of what all physicians should be like. read more

I have been seeing Kathy Laing for about three years for various reasons. I have nothing but very very positive things to say about her. She has a very warm and friendly approach to her profession. She is also very thorough and does not miss a thing. I have total faith in her and in her professional abilities to communicate and make someone feel comfortable and at ease while addressing serious concerns and issues. She also has taken the time to call personally with lab results. In addition I have never had to wait for any more than ten minutes to be placed into an examining room and never have waited more than five minutes for Dr. Laing to come into the room. Overall she is a five star. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Laing's for about 8-9 years now. I started going there from recommendation from a derm salesman who knows all the derm doctors in the region. Her reputation as one of the Top Dermatologists stands true in my experience. She is extremely thorough in her exams, explains exactly what she is doing and looking for and is professional in her demeanor. The couple times I've had some suspect spots, they were removed quickly, painlessly and healed quickly. I also have worked with Dr. Dimick and she is equally as capable. It may take awhile to schedule your first thorough exam but is worth the wait. That just goes to show how high in demand they are. read more

I'v been a patient of Dr Laing's for 5 years. I recently had a biopsy that went incredibly well. The biopsy was for any area on my face. I was a bit nervous about the procedure, outcome, and scar. Dr Laing thoroughly explained the procedure and did an absolutely amazing job with the incision and sutures. When the sutures were removed in two weeks, there was only the slightest hint of a scar. Very impressed with the entire process. I can only say that if you have a suspicious skin area, don't hesitate to get it examined. Dr Laing is a fantastic dermatologist who has the patience and knowledge to put you at ease, whether it be a routine examine or biopsy. -Teresa P. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Laing for a number of years and can't recommend her highly enough! She is extremely professional and at the same time very warm and friendly. It's clear she cares about her patients and her profession. I'm confident that I'm in the very best hands with Dr. Laing. I have many friends and acquaintances who see her, as she's the go-to dermatologist in Ann Arbor, and I've never met anyone who doesn't rave. The entire staff is terrific, and once when I needed to be fit in on a cancellation, Kerry called me several times until she found a time I could make work. I've always been seen promptly too. I have nothing but positive things to say! read more

I am a new patient with this clinic and could not be more impressed with the competence, efficiency and supportive care provided by Dr. Laing. Her staff also are superb. I was given a timely appointment to check on a worrisome lesion and Dr. Laing calmly and in a reassuring manner quickly and correctly identified and addressed what turned out to be an early stage malignancy. She was completely professional and truly wonderful in her follow-up conversations with me. I have subsequently learned that her reputation among other senior dermatologists is as good as it gets. I feel very well cared for and would give her even more stars if that was an option! read more

Last week, I had an appointment with Dr. Laing. As I was sitting in the waiting area, I started thinking about the excellent customer service she and her staff have provided to me over the past 15years. I have always been seen promptly, had medical issues explained thoroughly and never felt rushed. Dr. Laing is a true professional and cares about her patients. Whether you are at her office for a consultation, check-up or referral for surgery, she is always the same: attentive, kind and thorough. What's special about this doctor is that her leadership style is exemplified by her staff. She and her office staff get 5 stars from me! read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Laing for several years for an annual skin exam as a result of skin cancer in our family. I had been to several area dermatologists prior to this and based upon my research of what a skin exam should have, none provided an appropriate skin check/exam.The exams were done so fast, and none examined my scalp. After asking others for any recommendations, her name was given to me as someone who was very thorough and provided excellent treatment. I feel very lucky that I have been treated by her. She does a very comprehensive/thorough skin exam, and provides excellent treatment for my condition. read more

Dr. Laing has been my dermatologist for over 15 years. She's thorough, kind, takes my worries seriously. That said, she knows which things to be concerned about, and allays your fears if they are just routine parts of aging, or minor issues. Though she is booked up for a long time ahead (I try to make routine appts. way ahead so I can keep to a schedule), she will make time when something arises that concerns me. She treats the whole person - if you have other issues going on, she is sensitive to that. At the same time she is friendly, funny, and very capable. The staff is wonderful, too - it's an excellent practice. read more

I had been a patient of Dr Laing for several years when the company I worked for changed insurance providers taking me to a U of M dermatologist. Dr Laing and the U of M doc were poles apart in terms of quality and thoroughness of exams. Dr Laing had always been extremely thorough, whereas the U of M doc gave only superficial exams. Because of that, I quit going back to the U of M doc and put off yearly exams. I have since retired, on Medicare, and am now happily going back to Dr Laing. Dr Laing is extremely thorough, credible and courteous. I have recommended her to numerous friends. read more

Hats off to the entire staff at Laing & Dimick Dermatology. Last summer Dr. Laing identified a suspected mole that she gave prompt attention to by fitting me into her busy schedule before I left for vacation. Her follow up call to me demonstrated a conscientious quality unlike any doctor I have ever had! Thank you Dr. Laing! My February 2020 appointment was totally positive. I was given prompt and professional attention from the receptionist to the doctor's assistant. Dr. Laing was again very thorough, professional and caring during my body scan appointment. Keep up the good work! read more

I have been a patient of Dr Laing for several years. She is the most thorough Dermatologist I have ever been treated by in every exam she has performed. She is patient, knowledgeable and takes time with her exam. I have a history of skin cancer and prior to going to her, I had several dermatology check ups at hospital/clinics in the past in Ann Arbor area. I found them to be inadequate with a skin exam that did not check all the areas that one should have when visiting a dermatologist for skin checks. I kept looking for a doctor and I got lucky when a friend referred me to her. read more

Dr. Laing is without a doubt the best dermatologist we have ever dealt with! We move nearly 3 hours away and have tried other doctors, but are now resigned to visiting Ann Arbor for our skin checks. She is by far the most thorough we have found, the only dermo who checks you scalp and takes her time inspecting every inch of skin for abnormalities. She also does the most delicate biopsies. Whereas another dermatologist left two white scars without even an explanation, Dr. Laing explains the reasons carefully and left no scar on my cheek for an actinic keratosis. She's the best! read more

I have been a skin patient of Dr. Laing for almost 10 years....normal issues and some skin cancer issues also. She is very knowledgeable and through. I have recommended her others who became patients of hers and were satisfied with the services that she has provided. She has always done very good in house treatments and has also referred me to UM when appropriate and necessary. Her follow-up is good and always willing to answer questions during and after appointments. She calls personally when issues need to be discussed. read more

I cannot recommend Dr. Laing highly enough. Before going to Dr. Laing, i saw three other highly-recommended dermatologists and they do not compare. Dr. Laing is thorough in every way- her exams, the time she takes to educate her patients and the efficiency with which her office is run. I have never had to wait an unreasonable amount of time (usually no more than a few minutes.) She recently took a piece of skin for a biopsy and even without a local anesthetic it was essentially painless. Her patients come first. read more
