Excellent visit. Ilene is very knowledgeable and she’s very creative with her ideas for healthy eating

Ilene is absolutely wonderful! She has gone ABOVE and BEYOND on our initial session. I even had a few more questions before our next session and she immediately responded as though I were her only client (she is in high demand) and I truly appreciated that! I will be working with her during and after, and cannot be happier!

She was very informative and personable. She listened to all my specific goals and reviewed my lab work thoroughly to come up with personalized recommendations for diet, exercise and lifestyle changes in general. Would highly recommend her and am looking forward to my next appointment.

What I like about working with Ilene is that she takes the time to help formulate realistic plans and objectives. She is extremely adept at addressing questions and concerns in a concise and thorough manner which, in my opinion, speaks volumes to her level of expertise.
September 11, 2020Eric D.Verified patientVideo visit
After searching and reading many reviews, only one nutritionist caught my attention, that was Ilen Cohen. We had a virtual meeting as we are in the middle of the pandemic. Meeting Ilen went beyond my expectations; she listened to what I had to say and advised me on the next steps for the first two weeks. I told her I had an internal fight with food, and as much as I would love to be vegan, I feel in my heart, it is not the ideal diet for me, at least not for now. She was able to tell me that the most important thing I needed to hear was to care for my body and overall health with whole foods, including wild-caught fish and organic free-range protein. I have a hormone issue, and I need to nourish my body differently by following an uncomplicated menu with my life routine. I'm so looking forward to working with Ilene.
August 21, 2020Dia R.Verified patientVideo visit
Ilene was incredible to work with! She took so much time to get to know me and my habits and my goals. I felt listened to and respected, and I’m really looking forward to putting our plan into action!
August 20, 2020Alyssa D.Verified patientVideo visit
Ilene Cohen was very informative, especially when delving into topics that can feel super confusing when searching them up online. Took in a lot of tips and things to watch out for from our session, and she was very responsive to my personal preferences and needs.

More than 1 year agoAlexa F.Verified patient
I went to see Ilene for a weight loss consult. Ilene is very helpful in assisting with creating a meal plan with you that works. She is very open and easy to talk to. The meal plans that we created after sessions were easy to implement in my diet. She really works with you as well to make sure that you are following your goals. She is also very accommodating in terms of scheduling. I also liked that her practice is also a yoga studio, which makes the environment of her practice feel very laid back. I had a positive experience with her and would recommend her to my friends or collogues.

Great bedside manner; she is truly invested in the wellbeing of her patients-even after 1st session I am hopeful for my gut being healthy again
May 18, 2018Chottip N.Verified patient
Ilene was *so* incredibly thorough in our time together! She had read through all of my paperwork before I arrived, and our time together was remarkably productive. You can tell that she loves her craft and is a constant student of nutrition and holistic well-being, as she referenced the latest and greatest research in the field and spent time explaining everything to me as we talked through. She was so purposeful in our conversation and her examination of my medical history to help me understand potential areas for immediate improvement through dietary changes and supplements to fill nutritional gaps. I would 100% recommend her to anyone!
April 5, 2018Katheryn W.Verified patient
Ilene was really friendly and put me at ease right away. She asked a lot of questions which helped to open up the conversation and create a plain that was both good for me and sustainable.
More than 1 year agoElisabeth R.Verified patient
Prior to my visit, she sent several documents for me to fill out. All of that documentation stressed to arrive 15 minutes prior to visit. She showed up 10 minutes late. Once she arrived, she had read through all of my documents; however, she spent the majority of the time talking rather than asking me about my symptoms or goals.

Ilene is a dedicated dietician—In every appointment I have with her we make a breakthrough. She’s well informed and really listens to your needs. While every meeting is professional, it breezes by with how friendly she is and there’s never a dull moment! I love our reiki sessions and am always looking forward to our next appt.
December 15, 2017Vanessa P.Verified patient
Somehow, I got what was most likely a parasite, resulting in a lot of digestive issues and IBS symptoms. My gastro was not much help and I was at my wit's end - feeling stressed, overwhelmed, and like I had no control over the situation - until I found Ilene.
Ilene was super helpful in helping me initially manage the symptoms and get things under control. After courses of strong antibiotics to kill the parasite, Ilene helped me focus on restoring gut health and restoring balance in my gut flora. I have made tremendous progress and am continuing to see Ilene from time to time to get my overall health and digestion back to 100% of what it was before.
Ilene is super fun to work with and has treated my concerns with sincerity, compassion, and understanding. It has been a pleasure for me to have her help me through this challenge in my life and I would absolutely recommend her.

Ilene is an absolute sweetheart! She was so incredibly helpful with answering all my questions and creating a meal plan I can follow. She put in extra time and effort into making sure I walked away with all the knowledge necessary to make positive changes in my life.

Ilene has helped me a ton in the last year! She has been super attentive to my needs and goals. With her guidance, I have lost weight in a healthy and sustainable way, and can confidently say I'm in the best shape I've ever been.
Ilene has also been great about helping me learn about the effects that different foods have on my health, in a way that I feel empowered to make decisions about what I eat without feeling nervous it will throw all my hard work away.

I love that she worked with what I'm already doing, as far as food consumption and exercise. Gave me some valid points to follow, and tons of yummy food suggestions. Like her energy very much.
May 23, 2017Eva S.Verified patient
I feel like I am getting the personalized care of an exclusive practice. It is specifically catered to my individual needs, which is holistic in nature.
Ilene Cohen offers an expanded exercise plan with personal follow up by a certified exercise specialist as well as one- on- one yoga if requested (or in my case she gave me a referral closer to my home).
It is amazing that I found her through my health insurance.
More than 1 year agoEvelyn N.Verified patient
I have had 3x visits with Ilene over the past couple months and could not be happier! I have struggled with my weight/diet for years and wanted to find a dietitian to help manage my relationship with food. Not only have I lost weight, but with Ilene's help, I feel more confident in my ability to maintain a healthy diet and continue my weight loss and health journey. Ilene is amazing and provides excellent tips, food recommendations and recipes!

I found my consultation with Ilene excellent: informative, friendly and comprehensive. Ilene works from a cosy, easy-to-find office on the Upper East Side. We talked about my eating habits and she made specific and focused recommendations, which I found invaluable; she also recommended brands and combinations. I was able to go into a store right afterwards and buy healthy and nutritious foods, and finally know when to eat them and why - in terms of combining protein, carbohydrates, etc, and getting the nutrients I need. I've always considered myself a relatively healthy eater but having consulted with Ilene, I now see how haphazard and misfiring my healthy intentions were. Having spoken with her, I have a plan, a recipe list and a shopping list. This has helped me a huge amount; I'm not trying to lose weight, but I am trying to eat well for a specific health condition. I now look forward to our next consultation when we will discuss probiotics and vitamins. Ilene was also very helpful when it came to my insurance and getting all of that cleared. I recommend her highly!
May 13, 2016Belinda M.Verified patient
Ilene determined the best approach to my digestive issues. She was very knowledgeable about the elimination diet and we were able to discover problematic foods. I am thrilled that I now know how to manage my digestive symptoms. Her approach is thorough and she is updated on the latest science and approaches. I would definitely see her again should I have issues in the future.
