I'm so happy to have had the opportunity to meet Dr. Dara B. What a great human being. She listened to all my concerns snd helped me to come up with a plan to improve my eating habits !
February 6, 2017Nini J. C.Verified patient
I was 15 minutes early and Dara Bergen took care of me right away. She took her time reviewing all of my bloodwork and tests. She weighed me and calculated my BMI. We talked about my current health issues and she recommended a specific diet plan that I would have to adhere to all the time (not just some part time fad diet). She wrote down some meal ideas and some website suggestions - which is what I really needed because I am not a creative cook. Overall, it was a great visit.
December 27, 2016Bukurije R.Verified patient
She was very informative I appreciate her time
September 21, 2016Barbara R.Verified patient
Dr & her staff was Great! And very Professional
September 14, 2016Jeanette J.Verified patient
We had a very good conversation about my food likes and dislikes. Dara was very understanding and nonjudgmental about some of my favorites. Based upon my food preferences, we worked out ideas on things I should eat more or less of (it helped that I brought in a list of yes, no and probably nots). A lot of the changes she suggested are about portion control rather than totally avoiding certain foods - I would guess this is true for many people. I left feeling more hopeful about my options than I was going in.
My insurance only pays for three nutritionist visits a year, and this may be it for me, at least for now, but I got a lot of value from the one full-length visit. I would recommend anyone in the neighborhood considering an appointment to go for it.
More than 1 year agoNancy K.Verified patient
Just a few minutes wait. Non onerous paperwork. Pleasant bedside manner. Gets to the point quickly and effectively. Spends a good amount of time with you. Encouraging.
