About Michael Maher

My name is Michael Maher, and I am a registered, state-certified dietitian with a Master’s in Nutrition from the State University of New York, Stony Brook. My objective is simple—I want to help you reach your happiest and healthiest self. Through my own journey of achieving better health and happiness through nutrition, I gained a sense of confidence and self-pride that has shaped who I am today. Now, I want to help others on their journey by providing the information and guidance it took me over a decade to figure out. I specialize in several areas of nutrition, including managing acute and chronic illness, weight management, and sports/exercise nutrition.

My dietitian was very knowledgeable and took the time to understand my specific needs and lifestyle. He provided me with practical, actionable advice and tailored meal plans that were easy to follow. I felt incredibly supported. I highly recommend this approach to anyone looking for personalized nutrition guidance. This was a virtual visit. Zocdoc has a user-friendly platform, with clear instructions and displays real-time availability, eliminating the need for back-and-forth communication to find a suitable time slot for the provider

Mike is great
Verified patientVideo visit
Michael is a highly capable, personable, and encouraging nutrition professional with a knack for explaining the physiological reasons that make some food choices better than others. His intro was comprehensive, and he was very interested in hearing about my struggles with eating well and eager to walk me through a practical approach that was not in the least overwhelming. Very happy to be working with him and actually optimistic about this process and relieved to have such expert assistance with it!
