your heart's electrical circuits for damage in
conduction, rhythm, rate, circulation, even blood

at risk for a heart attack. This requires active
involvement on the part of the patient and is
much more specific for problems than the more
common EKG.

Immunizations
We ask that everyone provide an updated
immunization record for our files. We have in
stock the most common immunizations for school
age children and adults. For those traveling to
exotic areas, we recommend your local health department

Marlow Laser Aesthetics
This is my whole new line of skin
directed care. I started with Botox in 2001 out of self preservation. Then patients started
asking for more and more aesthetic procedures.
Our newest addition is the Cadillac of Lasers,

not much it can't do and do spectacularly! From
removing unwanted hair and spider veins to rejuvenating
skin to giving a face lift or tightening your
abdomen. It is wonderful!
