After many times of failure visiting different dietician that are caring , knowledgeable and dedicated !!! Besides as professional in the dietetic &health field In NYC... I decided to take a long ride to try one more time , and I have finally have to said : YES!! I’m glad I found her!! She really takes the time for you so you really get to give a chance in your life with your health!!
Besides this, the costumer service was great , haven’t seen such a good manners and dedicated attention in other health care facilities....
totally recommend, it’s a great atmosphere , you’ll feel it once you walking in!!! Aromatherapy makes the waiting process more relaxing, they also even offer you water !! Such a great way to start up your visit ....
they offer other services at the facility that I haven’t try yet, but from my first visit, I got well informed and I can’t wait to experience all !!
Can’t wait for next visit!!

August 8, 2017Jamie W.Verified patient
Diana is amazing! I lost 5 lbs of belly fat in a month, and still losing more on her plan.
In our first visit, she made me a nutrition plan and ran two tests:
1. Metabolic test – this measured my metabolism
2. Body composition analysis – this shows the muscle, fat, and wa ter I had in each body part
She explained both tests well, and her nutrition plan has been helpful with my weight goals. I came back a month ago to take the body analysis test again and found out I lost five lbs of belly fat!!
Diana Rafailova has been professional and had great equipment in her office. She’s such a nice person who truly cares about her patients, and I can’t wait for our next session!

October 19, 2016Mandi M.Verified patient
At first I came in for a prenatal appointment, Diana was able to guide me through all the proper meals that benefited my baby and I. After I gave birth I decided to come back for post-natal consultation, since I am a breastfeeding mother I wanted to lose post-birth weight, but also produce milk to continue breastfeeding. Diana did a metabolic test as well as reviewed all of my blood work and provided me with customized meal plan.
