I have been a patient of Dr. Lou’s since before he even became affiliated with MDVIP. My wife called on him professionally and she thinks the world of him and his amazing team. She strongly encouraged me to see Dr. Lou, knowing he would be a great advocate for me for the long haul. I’m an active hiker, climber and skier and want to continue these adventures as I take on retirement. Dr. Lou… See more

Lou will hate this. BUT
Lou Malinow saved my life. Without Lou ordering a second test for prostate cancer, I may not be alive today. My Urologist actually told me that Lou saved my life. I consider Lou to be a friend and part of my family. Lou is always there for me. There is nothing I wouldn’t do for Lou. He’s just the best.

What’s even more of a head-scratcher is that our understanding of heart disease… See more
