I have been going to Dr. Litzow for 5 years and my son has been going to him for much longer. We have never received anything but impeccable service from he and his staff. I am completely comfortable with his treatment and would have no qualms recommending him to anyone including my family members.

Dr. Litzow implanted a pace maker last November. Initially I noticed an increase in energy and stamina but it gradually waned. I spoke to hom about this and he made an adjustment which has been very beneficial. I feel much better

As stated before. The doctor said I have svt prescribed a medicine, didn't say if I had options and listened to my questions but didn't really help me with them.
