I had been suffering with pain for years. I had been to three different doctors. I had multiple MRIs/CT scans, physical therapy. I spent thousands of dollars. I took NSAiDs It got so bad I had to quit work. I could barely walk around the block . I went to Dr Marlow and he figured out what the problem. Now I am walking, shopping enjoying life.

Dr. Marlow was great. He explained his findings clearly as well as my options for treatment offering less invasive options to start with. I had been terrified about being seen and he was able to remove those fears and provide a treatment plan that I feel comfortable with. Highly recommend this Dr.
