Editorial review from Citysearch 12/26/2013

I have tried many programs to lose weight and this has been the only one that has worked. With almost 40 pounds gone in 9 months, my over all health has improved and I have learned what foods to eat. Before starting this program, I was given tests that I had never been given by other physicians and it was found I was boarder line diabetic. Over this 9 months, my BP meds have been reduced and other meds that I have been on for years have been reviewed by Dr. Marlowe and adjusted with positive results. Dr. Marlowe is direct and to the point. His ""bedside manner"" could be viewed by some as rude, but he is there to make YOU successful. He has never seemed rushed or made me feel I needed to rush through my appointments. All my questions and concerns are addressed either during the appt. or by phone if I need assistance between appts. Follow the guidelines and this program will be a success. I recommend Dr, Marlowe's Weight Loss Inst for anyone serious about losing weight. more

Editorial review from Citysearch 9/30/2013

Dr. Marlowe's Weight Loss Institute has changed my life! This guy is a genius! His staff is extremely professional and well trained. Every since I hit my 40's I have struggled with weight gain. I would lose minimal weight and then put on 10 or 15 pounds. I got up to 240 pounds and was miserable. I call it the ""Weight Roller Coaster."" Working with Dr. Marlowe and his staff, they have recommend a program that was custom fitted for me based on several factors. Some of the factors include my blood work results, family history, etc. Dr. Marlowe and his staff took the time to personally get to know me and explain in basic terms what I needed to do. I started in March of this year (2013) and have lost 60 pounds, in 7 months! I feel great, eat good healthy food and exercise daily. Stay off the Weight Roller Coaster and give Dr. Marlowe and his awesome staff a try! more

I usually don't put energy into negativity but I feel I must share this TERRIBLE experience I have endured to save other's time, energy, and money.\r \r I flew in to see Dr. Marlow from LOS ANGELES CA in hopes of a positive experience.I have never felt so uncomfortable and disrespected as I did at this office. Let me explain:\r \r The receptionist named Shirley was rude, dishonest, and just plain disrespectful.\r I have never witnessed such poor behavior in a professional setting.\r \r Over the phone Shirley MISCOMMUNICATED the payment plan to me.\r I arrived at the office and was unprepared to pay for services at that time because of what Shirley had told me earlier that morning. She denied ever speaking with me and had insinuated I was lying and that I must have called the wrong number.\r Thankfully I had proof on my cell phone of when I had called the office that morning. After bringing that to her attention she failed to recognize she was in the wrong and didn't' apologize.\r *Payment wasn't the issue. It was about the principal and poor treatment that upset me. \r \r Since I wasn't planning on paying for services that day I had to leave the office and run to the ATM. After I returned ten minutes later she said she would have to RESCHEDULE my appointment because I had ran to the ATM. \r I arrived to my appointment ON TIME but because of HER mistake I was being held accountable. That was totally unacceptable! Had she FORGOT (once again) that I flew in from Los Angeles for that one appointment. I have a job and didn't plan on staying in Charlotte any longer than planned. So she informed me that I could stay in the waiting room and be seen if a patient didn't show up. So for the rest of my duration in the waiting room I filled out my paperwork and was treated coldly to put it lightly. * She was very short in her answers regarding paperwork. \r \r Finally I saw Dr. Marlow for a brief time. It was a very UNCOMFORTABLE experience for a doctors visit in which I haven't experienced in my lifetime. \r He rarely made eye contact with me and was very short with questions and answers. How did he expect me to openly converse with him about my health needs if he was conducting himself in such a closed off manner. \r Anyhow after the appointment I was happy to be leaving and on my way back to LA. I have since found a NEW doctor who is compassionate, honest, and a great listener. \r \r My new doctor needed some paperwork faxed over from Dr. Marlows office.\r I called and politely asked Shirley if she could please fax over the paperwork.\r Her response was short like usual. I asked her when should I be expecting the paperwork. She said MAYBE Friday if they got to it. I was calling on a Tuesday.\r WHAT A JOKE! It takes 2 minutes to fax over paper work. The receptionist here in LA even noted how ""unhelpful"" she was when contacting her.\r I understand offices are busy but when I was in the waiting room for 2 hours I saw one other client. It all goes back to PRINCIPAL. If she had good intentions and was kind hearted this wouldn't even be an issue. God bless her miserable soul and I am RELIEVED to be free of of having to be in contact with that office. \r \r If you are contemplating on whether or not to see Dr. Marlow I suggest you save your energy, money, and time. \r \r If you are seeking a doctor for HRT feel free to contact me and I can share with you my doctor. more

Editorial review from Citysearch 8/13/2012

Dr. Marlowe's Weight Loss has been the best thing I have done for myself in a long time. The program has been easy for me to follow and the staff has been very supportive. I didn't want to attend group meetings or count points so when someone told me about Dr Marlowe I decided to see what his program was like. I am still losing weight, am no longer taking BP or cholesterol medicine, have more energy and feel and look better than I have in years. I highly recommend Dr. Marlowe's Weight Loss Institute! more

Editorial review from Citysearch 8/3/2012

I had decided I wanted to get to an ideal weight for my health and satisfaction. I had been trying many ways for a year and just could not seem to get where I wanted to be, so I decided it was time to get support for my weight loss journey. I found Dr Marlowe and it has been a wonderful experience and just what I needed. Himself along with his warm and friendly staff is very supportive to me each and every visit.\r \r I am now only 7 pounds form my goal weight, I have been able to shop at my local stores due to no special foods needed and best of all no special meals that I have to cook for myself, my enitre family enjoys the same meals. Not to mention I have went from size 10 to size 6.\r Thanks \r Karen W more

I've lost a great amount of weight at this office, and I've been everywhere and have even had surgery that didn't help. So happy I've found this place more

Editorial review from Citysearch 7/18/2012

I have lost 45 pounds with Dr. Marlowe. I am confidently on my way to 50. The best part though is that I have also lost the need to two types of blood preasure medication, acid reflux meds, asthma meds and I feel better than I have in a LONG time. I simply could not have done this by myself!! Here's to longer life more

Extremely happy with my progress. Words can't express my joy in being active again. more

Editorial review from Citysearch 6/13/2012

to the reviewer who said A terrible mistake. words can't explain how rude this dr was. Waste of time and money he is not worth a penny you were right! Dr Marlowe is the rudest person I have ever met -- and that is saying a lot! The only people who give him positive reviews are his weight loss patients and they are happy because he runs a cattle processing business in which he pumps them full of amphetamines for unhealthy, quick weight loss, so of course they are happy. He does treat another set of patients which he has no business treating. He has loads of misinformation and is very offensive. Even more than he is rude, he is gross. Stay away from him. more

Great doctor, really poor staff and poorly run office 4/26/2012

I did a lot of research before coming to Dr Marlowe and although he was much farther away than other weight loss clinic options for me, I felt that he would be worth it. I have been pleased with him and my results, but I am no longer going to continue because of the poorly run office and the rude office staff. They never answer their phone so you play phone tag trying to schedule or reschedule an appt ( and I can PROMISE you that it is not because they are so busy they cant answer. The clinic is VERY slow). The woman at the front desk is one of the rudest people that I have ever encountered in an office. She has no people skills at all. I gave up and I am not going back. Even though I think Dr Marlowe is excellent, I just cant stomach the rest of the crew and they way they handle the 'business' side of medicine. more

Amazingly straight forward -- 3/7/2012

I'm an active man, as i was hitting 50 year old mark. The ""heathly lifestyle"" things I was doing was no longer working for me. I was gradually putting on weight. My first session with Dr. Marlow, he described the partnership we would have over the next months. He had me describe what my ""reaching goal"" was for my loss. Keep in mind, Dr. Marlow is a real MD. Just like my family Doctor. I was impressed that he needed to back up his suggestions with science. He scheduled me at a lab to pull bloodwork to see what was going on w/ my body. So he was then able to target his recommendations based on science tailored to my own body, not just something out of a magazine. :) This is working for me thus far because I understand that a main component is the accountability factor. I log my meals, my fitness, so that recurring sessions are productive. I log how I feel based on diet, exercise, and Dr. Marlow can assist. It's been a wonderful back and forth partnership. I am surprised how easy this is. As long as i'm following my tailored recommend guidelines, I really am surprised how quickly dropping. I am really surprised how quickly the weight is dropping. My energy level is great. In fact, back in December 2011, when I filled out the initial paperwork with my Goals, i put what i thought would be a ""reach"" goal in time for a cruise i had booked for May 2012. It's just early March 2012, and I've already reached my weight goal!!. So i'm readjusting my goals, with better confidence that i can achieve. I've also booked a 10K race for April!! Thanks so much Dr. Marlowe!! more

Happy Happy Hapy 8/16/2011

Not sure if Dr. Marlowe knew this, but before I came to him, I was seriously considering SURGERY for weight Loss! I learned something new about myself.... I am one who LOVES carbs. If I begin my day with a carb.... I will end it with a bowl of cookie dough. I find for me (because everyone is different) that protein helps sustain me throughout the day. Since I have been on this program, I am eating much less and drinking so much more water. Dr. Marlowe will find different avenues to work with individual patients. He is constantly trying to find ways to break the cycle of obesity. I have lost over 40lbs and I have a great time shopping now. Thanks to Janey (she works the front desk). She is so sweet and is an inspiration to everyone! MB more

Wonderful experience 12/14/2010

Everyone there is wonderful. The staff and the doctor. Everyone makes the time to talk with you and answer your questions. I don't understand the bad comments. I realize that this is a doctors office and there might be times where things are a little crazy. I don't think people realize this is a ""Doctors"" office because it's not like a doctors office. Its better than your normal office. I chit chat with the staff before and after the visit. The doctor is great and easy to talk with. I learned a lot of things that I didn't know. It was a great choice I made to go. I have lost a lot of weight. more

A terrible mistake 9/8/2010

words can't explain how rude this dr was. Waste of time and money he is not worth a penny more

Very Pleased!! :-) 9/8/2010

I started going to see Dr. Marlowe in the beginning of this summer, I was very nervous, when I walked into the office I felt a very inviting welcoming from the office, etc ( fountains, up-to-date magazines, and the weight loss scrap book), I knew I was in the right place to loss weight. The receptionist was very nice, she helped me fill out all of my paper work ( on computers), after I finished paper work. The other lovey lady took me to a room and began helped me start my way to losing weight. Both staff members was great, very nice, and caring. Dr. Marlowe was great, he gave me a diet and explained everything to and made sure I understood it. I am now 32 lbs lighter and looking, feeling fabulous. THANK YOU DR MARLOWE AND STAFF!! more

Dr. Marlowe is rude and condescending! 7/28/2010

I went to him at the begining of 2010. He rushed through the apoinment and at the end, when he had to go he disregarded my question and just rushed to get out. My later appointments with him he answered my question like i was stupid. He gives me a feeling that he's always rushing to the next person to make money, you know? I have no personal vendetta against him, this is my honest experience with him. I'm in the process of getting a new doctor, I can't feel put down every time I talk to him.I read a review that a lady feels better when she leaves his office: honest;y, this is shocking to hear, because I feel the oposite. \r \r Don't go to Dr. Marlowe if you can find a different doctor. Sad, but true... Cons: rude, rushes though the appointment, innapropriate jokes more

Happy With Myself 7/27/2010

I have truly enjoyed being a client of Dr. Marlowe. He has wonderful tips, the staff is encouraging and they help you to stay focused, even when things may not go as well as you anticipate. I have a very stressful life, so staying focused on me is difficult. This program has helped me to do just that and I don't feel guilty taking time for myself. I have been able to maintain a good weight after being in this program for a short period of time with very little physical effort. I plan to stay in the program for as long as possible to help me to stay healthy. Thank you Dr. Marlowe and staff. Pros: Natural and at your own pace Cons: The cost and that most insurance does not cover more

Wonderful, place to lose and Very Easy 11/19/2009

Every time I visit I would leave feeling so good, because Dr. Marlowe, would make you feel special and important, because he real cares for each and every one of his patients. He wants everyone to meet their goal. He just make me feel so good about myself and I feel so much better about the way I look and the way I feel since I have lost 62 pounds in 6 months thanks to Dr. Marlowe. It was the easiest I ever lost weight before it was like the weight just kept on falling. Pros: ALL CONS Cons: NO NO more
