What People Are Saying About Our Dietitians
Kelly B
My nutritionist Erika is the BEST! She has incredible clinical-medical knowledge about food, nutrients, data backed information about any topic I bring up. I think she is also one of the kindest, sincere and compassionate providers that I have ever worked with. I started out meeting with her about gut health, hashimoto's disease and now breast cancer. Erika is well rounded about many health topics in general -including sleep and how stress deplete your nutrient stores. It is really like having a therapy visit. I love that my insurance pays the copay for my visits!!
