About Me
As a rheumatologist at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, I am passionate about providing the best care possible to each person who comes to see me. I specialize in treating patients for conditions including psoriatic and rheumatoid arthritis, gout, Sjögren’s syndrome and osteoporosis. I am proud to serve as a leader in our mission to offer optimal care in my role as co-director of the Multidisciplinary Psoriatic Arthritis Clinic.
I prioritize education and always ensure my patients thoroughly understand their diagnosis and all treatment options. I am also honored to have been recognized as a Castle Connolly Top Doctor for the past 10 years in a row (2015-2024) and named to the Castle Connolly Exceptional Women in Medicine list.
In addition to my clinical work, I am actively involved in research efforts. My current projects include clinical trials of novel therapeutics to treat psoriatic arthritis, gout and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
My role includes helping to train the next generation of physicians. I work with medical students, residents and fellows in the clinic.

My provider She is always good. I've been with her for many years. I can ask her anything about my health. And she always tell the truth.That what I love about her. She get a 10 plus from me. Thank You.
She was very dismissive and didn't even try to help me. She wasn't knowledgeable on what to do and just tried to refer me out to someone else. She kept saying that she didn't see anything wrong with me even though my disability isn't visible. I was very offended that all she kept saying was to exercise over and over even though I tried to explain that the pain made it hard to do so. She totally lacked compassion and basically shrugged her shoulders at everything I said.
20 min late - no big deal- seemed to quickly dismiss why I was there - did less than 3 min physical exam and told me what was wrong - didn't seem to like that I asked questions and wanted something more thorough given another doctor had placed the referral
Care provider is always very caring and knowledgeable.
My physician examined me and asked about about medical issues, reviewed test results, and recommended medications to help with my condition .
I do not feel like she took my concerns seriously. She wanted to do her own tests and then make her own determination. She mentioned multiple times that my being overweight could cause the issues I'm having, which is not the case when you look at the lab results. An appointment was scheduled for 3 months later, but I received no communication from my provider once my lab results came in, even though multiple results were abnormal.
My Doctor is extremely good. She is very professional but at the time very friendly and kind. I don't know what I will do when she goes to retire.
Good
Doctor makulik, is an excellent provider and took me off of Humira as soon as she found, I had gotten psoriases from the medication.... Great "
Professional and courteous
I think She is just WHO and What I have needed in a Rheumatologist
The provider dismissed what I was saying. After she heard that I had played sports before, anything I said was dismissed and went out the window. Assumptions were made about me based off of the fact that I played sports and any medical history that I told the doctor was not used or kept in mind. I am glad that my spouse was in the room with me because when I was in there the doc essentially told me there was nothing wrong with me and I played sports so I'm fine and it's all due to sports. (It's not) I have had 5 other doctors all tell me the same thing is wrong and I go to this appointment and this 1 doctor said that nothing was wrong. So who lied to me then. Was it the 5 other doctors or was it this 1. Needless to say I am going somewhere else.
Very knowledgeable
There were no bad experiences
The best
She would like to give me the best care possible.
The physician was through and attentive to my condition asking questions and providing care and treatment and ordering tests .
Doc is a good listener and is very personable!
Answered all my questions and concerns.She also spent time reviewing my history to compare testing results. Set up additional tests and date for return visit.
Provider Is always professional and handles things in a timely manner.
Dr. Mikulik is exceptional, and I am fortunate to have her. On my visit this past week, she listened to my frustrations of my chronic cough of almost a year. After 3 visits to OSU's Urgent Care and a pulmonologist, no one ordered blood work, so she did, and also a chest X-ray and CT scan. I have an appointment with my l new non-OSU doctor this coming Thursday to go over the results. Two of the blood tests are abnormal. I'm so very thankful that she ordered them!

Dr. Mikulik is wonderful. She is very thorough and listens to everything you say, even if it isn't in her field of expertise, in which case she refers you to a doctor that is. She is always in a good mood and makes you feel like she's happy to see you. She is definitely an asset to OSU and I would recommend her to anyone needing a rheumatologist.
Dr. Mikulik at least seven years. I thank GOD for her knowledge of my health condition. Proud she is an OSU member.
