Norman Marcus Pain Institute

Dr. Norman Marcus, Aya, and the rest of the staff at the Norman Marcus Pain Institute gave me a life I could look forward to again. I had two back operations that did very little to stop the lower back pain that I had been experiencing for many years. The doctors that performed my surgeries said that they did all they could do. They had nothing more to offer for the pain I was experiencing. I saw an interview that Dr. Marcus gave to the Good Morning America show and decided to contact Dr. Marcus immediately. Aya, Dr. Marcus' assistant, was very gracious by answering my questions. I was ready to try anything and this seemed to be the answer to my problems. I set up an appointment and made flight plans for a trip to New York City from western South Dakota. I spent a week for treatments and had 95% of my pain relieved. I waited a couple of years and went back to finish the process and I am very thankful for seeing the GMA interview. Dr. Marcus' treatment gave back to me the ability to enjoy life again. Thank you Dr. Marcus and your staff for your wonderful care and understanding. I have been telling my story to everyone that I think could use your help. I would go back tomorrow if I needed to get further help. Pros: null Cons: null more

I was referred to Dr. Marcus by a colleague of his. When I first saw Dr. Marcus I had been experiencing muscle pain and spasms in my hip, thigh and calf. I had been to numerous doctors and an acupuncturist and had a variety of treatments to no avail. I was really fortunate to find the Norman Marcus Pain Institute. Dr. Marcus always explained what he was doing and why. Dr. Marcus relieved my pain in the areas I originally went to him for as well as a number of other areas. Dr. Marcus also identified other medical issues and referred me to other doctors. Dr. Marcus is truly one of a kind compassionate professional. I am grateful to Dr. Marcus and his staff for taking such good care of me and getting me through a difficult time. Pros: null Cons: null more

Dr. Marcus is not just a wonderful medical practitioner (excuse me while I return the thesaurus) but he's also a Master Magician! Pros: null Cons: null more

After years of constant pain, pain medication that gave no relief and Dr.'s that didn't understand, I felt a sense of hopelessness. I knew what was wrong, but could not find a doctor to address the problem. One morning I saw doctor Marcus on T.V. I knew what this man was talking about, and knew he could help me. I couldn't get to N.Y. fast enough. It's been nearly two years and I am pain free and drug free. If it wasn't for Dr. Marcus I would still be riding the roller coaster to know where. I still lack faith in Doctors as a whole, but not Dr. Marcus. He was my savior. Pros: null Cons: null more

After enduring 11 months of near constant lower back pain, tingling in my foot and burning in my butt when i walked more than 1 block, i met Dr Marcus. I had 2 surgeons advise me that surgery was on my horizon, hopefully without fusion. I had cortisone shots that did nothing, i went to 3 different physical therapists, all of whom did nothing or next to nothing, had acupuncture, chiropractic adjustments and more anti inflammatories than i can remember. When i met Dr Marcus i was skeptical, but desperate. After the first session, the tingling was nearly gone. After week 4, i had the green light to play sports again. The man is brilliant and kind. His methodology restored my faith in doctors. I cannot praise him enough for what he's done for me. Its 2 years since my last treatment and i am every bit as active. Go see him.

I am a chronic pain patient suffering from Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. I met Dr. Marcus over 20 years ago after having my knee replaced. The pain was so terrible I was thrashing in my hospital bed. I attribute being alive today because of the empathetic care of Dr. Marcus. Although I have had many physical problems since then, Dr. Marcus has been with me every step of the way. What makes him unique is his multi-disciplinary approach to fighting pain. His first rate approach to understanding how muscles impact the body has been a salvation for a patient like me that has a connective tissue disorder. As a pain specialist and someone that listens first, my quality of life is due to Dr. Marcus. As a veteran of chronic pain, I cannot endorse this medical physician more highly. Ultimately, he is the kind of practitioner I want in my corner if I am suffering from chronic pain. God bless you Dr. Marcus, words are not enough to signify the difference you have made in my life.
