“Very professional, knowledgeable, thorough in outlining plan of action for my health concern. Pleasant disposition. ”
Alison Q.February 21, 2018
“Allison was great. She was not judgmental at all. She didn't weigh me which I thought was great because it's not about where you're at but where you want to go. She also didn't tell me how much I should weigh but asked what my goal was. She provided an easy to follow plan. I would definitely recommend seeing her. ”

Excellent consultation
September 13, 2020Adrian F.Verified patient
She was not for me. All she did was tell me to go yoga and eat healthy. She didn’t care about my history with food or ask if I’ve ever felt like I had disordered eating etc. I basically felt like she collected money and wasn’t interested in helping.

Nothing i was advised by the doctor i couldn’t find find for free online, so in my case i don’t see the reason to pay for the service.

She was okay, i expected better advice/helpful tips but she told me basic things i could find on my own through a simple google search. I also felt rushed during the meeting.

I did not receive the information for weight loss I was looking for. It was just a consultation with food suggestions. It was not helpful for me because I am allergic to many of the healthy foods.

I was 5 minutes late and Allison was kindly waiting for me. She asked a lot of questions on my eating habits and proposed a plan that was not drastic and in line with my taste. I hope and believe this will be effective in installing better new habits for me, for long term and sustained weight loss, with the support of an empathetic professional.

it was very thorough which i appreciated
June 1, 2016Melissa W.Verified patient
I really like our interaction, we have already met 3 times. Ms Schulman is very professional and thorough, with excellent bedside manner, as she is a great listener and really makes an effort to know and understand her patients lifestyles and health issues. It is a pleasure to meet with her every month and learn from her the importance of leading a healthy life by eating healthy and exercising regularly. What I like most is that she has a long-term vision, insists on moderation and does not impose strict regimens that will eventually backfire.

She was very thorough and understood my specific needs. She was able to talk me through my new meal plan and then create a plan that works for me so that I can stick to it!

August 12, 2015David S.Verified patient

May 27, 2015Rachel G.Verified patient
It was great, she didn't make assumptions or put me on some plan that seemed unreasonable. It was something based on my habits.

ALLISON WAS EXCELLENT
September 11, 2014Zenobia S.Verified patient
Allison was great. Very patient, nice and smart! She sat with me for over an hour to discuss my eating habits and came up with a personalized meal plan. I did not have to wait and the 8AM appointment is hard to find and perfect for my work schedule.
