I thought Christina was a very competent well educated RD with a very personal sense of care. I would higly recommend her.
March 13, 2013Jamie C.Verified patient
Cristina has a unique balance of expertise in science and metabolic systems, and one on one counseling. After trying numerous weight loss programs, plans and the like, I know I have connected with the right professional. Her logic, simplified explanations and realistic approach to lifestyle changes, is refreshing and exciting. You can't get this on the Internet ,a phone app, DVD, group meeting or a UPS box. A+++
