Healthy, effective advice

by scs00

My wife and I have tried a lot of options to drop weight, but had never exceeded dropping more than 5 pounds each (I would both like to lose 45-50, while my wife would like to drop 30 or so). Based on the recommendation of a coworker at BOA, we went to Dr. Marlowe to seek out his advice. Well suffice to say, I wish we had come here a long time ago! Currently I have lost 22 pounds and my wife has dropped 16. It feels great and our energy levels have finally started coming back like they were before we put on all this weight. We can't wait to drop it all off with the Weight Loss Institute!

• Pros: finally dropping the lbs!

I am thrilled to have found Dr Marlowe. He has helped me loss that weight that I have been trying to lose since I had my second child. I had tried other methods with no results. He helped me lose those stubborn pounds that I was starting to think that I would just have to accept as part of "getting older." Very glad that I found him.

• Pros: Results!! Great experience
• Cons: none

great place to lose weight

by janeybs

every time I go I will leave feeling better than when I came because he always makes me feel important, like he cares and that I count that I am number one and there is no one else there but me. He will always ask me if I have any question, what I have been eatting to make sure that everything is working like it is surpose to. I have lost over 54 pounds by going to see Dr. Marlowe, and I feel a lot better and I just want to say THANKS.

• Pros: great support
• Cons: there not any

Down Low Fake!!!

by IronRod

Dr. Marlowe is not what he appears by any stretch of the imagination. He presents to the public that he is so caring and knows so much about what he is trying to sell.....yes SELL Well, he gave me the wrong pills and lied about why he was so careless in giving me the wrong prescription. The state board needs to investigate how neglectful he is in prescribing medicine! I also found that he is biased in his treatment of his patients. If you come there and act like you have some money, he will spend some real time with you. If you are one of his transgender: men want to be women patients.....YES....you read it right! He is a undercover funny-duddy. If you are one of the two:rich and wasteful or

"funny" and desperate, he will be nice to you and give you at least an hour on all your visits....., but if you are the average person who struggled to gather the money to see him for some quality medical treatment---forget it! He will rush your visit and send you away.

He is not good at answering direct questions and tells you 20 different non connected stories before you can get the proper answer out of him for the one question you wanted to answer to. The best part of my visit was his nurse. She really acted like she was interested in my needs and talked to me like I was a human being with feelings. But I am sure Dr. Marlowe will change that too because he appears to be a very selfish person who only wants people to give him the praise. I feel sorry for his staff to have boss like him that only talks about himself while he treats his staff like 2nd class citizens! But I bet if they were undercover "transgender" like him he would be much nicer to his staff and honest with his patients. He has the skill to look in your face and lie to you with a straight face. If you need the pills to help you with your weight loss, that is fine..the pills are not the problem. The problem is the Doctor!!! BEWARE of this guy!

• Pros: His staff is awesome!
• Cons: Show Special Treatment To A Select Few Not All!!!

Don't waste your money

by Lisa1515

Don't be scammed!

I visited Dr. Marlowe 2x and spent over $550 on visits and tests to receive an "I don't know" from Dr. Marlowe. The only thing I left with was a breakfast recipe that I could have looked up on the FoodNetwork site for free. Dr. Marlowe spoke to me on a 3rd grade level, provided NO help with my weight loss and only suggested I take weight loss pills.

On my initial visit I specifically told Dr. Marlowe that I did not want to take weight loss pills because I wasn't that over weight (5'4" - 130lbs - 28 years old) and I have had family member with severe heart and stomach issues. I told him I was interested in a HEALTHY, natural weight loss solution (to lose about 10 pounds that I couldn't seem to shed at the gym) and he told me he could help. With this out on the table, I expected him to determine specifics about "my body" to determine how my metabolism works with various types of food, foods I should and should not eat (other than the obvious), specific types I food I should eat throughout the day to help stay/feel full, types of food I should eat to stimulate my metabolism, etc. instead, I received "you should take these pills...". The image he put in my mind was that "I'm hopeless and the only way I'm going to lose weight is by popping pills" and I KNOW this is not true. Dr. Marlowe also mentioned that I cut my diet down to 800 calories a day (700 is starvation). Being a very active, 28 year old female this CAN'T be healthy and what about platequing...?

If you want to take diet pills and pay A LOT for them, go see Dr. Marlowe, if you want a healthy alternative to weight loss, see a dietitian and get a plan that is created for YOU. Dr. Marlowe will give you a some recipes but they are all cookie-cutter recipies, and as any girl knows, all female bodies are not the same so we can't all benefit from the same recipes!

Don't waste your money on Dr. Marlowe. Good luck!

• Pros: Nothing.
• Cons: Waste of money, no healthy means of weight loss (only pills), Dr. Marlowe speaks to you on a 3rd grade level.
