“Dr. Richter was a great help! I came to her with some specific diet questions surrounding various medical issues I have, and it was clear she had done her homework prior to seeing me. She had a lot of great, well-thought-out advice and was very encouraging. I would definitely see her again.”

I enjoyed my first visit with Dr Sharon Richter. She was welcoming and made me feel comfortable sharing my fertility journey and shared about her journey to motherhood, as well, which I really appreciated. I’m looking forward to having weekly check ins for motivation and accountability on my journey to a healthier lifestyle and eventually parenthood.

It was my initial visit with the doctor via the phone through video so I don’t think I can give a proper review yet. She was nice , but time will tell.
February 25, 2022Ronald B.Verified patientVideo visit
Sharon was fantastic. Gracious and thoughtful. I felt like I had more than a nutritionist/dietician. It felt like therapy. Her approach with me seems to be slow and steady wins the race. I look forward to more sessions with her.

Dr. Richter was attentive, helpful, and relayed information to me helping me to understand my diet and small tweaks i can do now. She has a pragmatic approach!

I’ve worked with Sharon Richter for about 1 1/2 years now for nutritional counseling. I came
to Sharon because I had recently started eating plant-based and had a few road races planned. I wanted to make sure I was fueling well for my races and also maintaining a vegan diet in a healthy way. More generally, I was looking to have a healthier relationship with food.
Sharon’s style is geared towards sustainability - focused on setting realistic goals and making and maintaining tweaks in a way that someone can form healthy habits for life.
We would meet weekly, review food journals (sometimes mine were photo diaries for ease of logging), develop strategies together and I would weigh in. She gave me helpful tips/rules of thumb to put into practice daily and we developed more custom weekly goals together. Since working with Sharon, my weight has come down, I am stronger/faster runner, and I’m feeling more confident in my food choices and in my own skin!
Sharon is upbeat, positive and approaches her work with empathy and realism. She has a great professional and conversational-style and I always find her easy to speak freely with.
Unlike some other providers, Sharon has been flexible in terms of scheduling, which is a huge plus for someone with a demanding schedule. Moreover, in light of the pandemic, we seamlessly pivoted to virtual visits keeping up our usual meetings.
I would highly recommend Sharon Richter to someone looking for a skilled nutrition professional who is practical and very easy to work with. It’s been great having Sharon on “my team.” With her help, I’ve made great strides and am confident she can help others do the same!

Very helpful!! Professional, kind, non-judgemental, great ideas, prompt, meets me where I am, available and accessible. All the things you’d want during the difficult journey of wellness and... body weight. I highly recommend Sharon and indeed I have to friends.
February 17, 2020Lauren L.Verified patient
Sharon's been tremendous! She has a congenial professionalism that's really helpful when she's pointing out the hard truths about the issues we discuss. Sharon immediately put me at ease from the very beginning and continues to talk me through my issues by knowledgeably pointing me in the right direction. I've never been to a Nutritionist and was really skeptical as to how talking to someone would help me address my lifelong dysfunctional relationship with soda, sugar, high carb foods and deep fried...well anything. Thanks to Sharon's help I am proud to say I've managed to begin addressing those issues to the amusement and cheers of friends and family and co-workers alike.

I wholeheartedly recommend Sharon! She is extremely encouraging and knowledgeable about nutrition and helped me figure out a realistic/sustainable plan to best fit my personal needs. She is also personable and accommodating - overall it is truly a pleasure working with her.
More than 1 year agoJenna K.Verified patient
I went to see Sharon to stay on track with my weight loss goals but more importantly to be mindful with what I am eating. She has been an immense help with knowledgeable yet realistic approaches to reaching my goals. She not only provides tips and tricks but was sure to educate me with the right tools so I can learn to be more mindful with what I consume and how much of it to consume. Her approach isn't cookie cutter, one size fits all, but is tailored to your individual needs, goals, and life style. Sharon created a very safe environment for me to openly share what I eat on a daily basis with zero judgment or guilt. She is also always available to chat when I have questions outside of our sessions. I would highly recommend her!
January 27, 2020Nodar K.Verified patient
I’m very pleased with my first visit. Sharon helped me set a baseline for my wellness and weight loss goals. I found her direction clear, with a great explanation of the benefits of eating clean, while addressing “real life” balance. We explored my eating habits and I found some surprising and surmountable ways to make immediate adjustments to eating and exercise.
October 8, 2019Jason P.Verified patient
Super Friendly! Love her outlook on things and makes me feel like my goal is obtainable without feeling restricted or like I have to turn into a robot and do the same thing over and over. Glad she's helping me through this journey.

I have know Shraon for several years, when I first was diagnosed with Celiac disease, she really walked me through the process of going gluten-free. She is the utmost professional, & spends time explaining the pros & cons of all the food I consume. I am involved in several different activities & I always ask Sharon what is the most appropriate foods to optimize my performance, & she always responds within minutes. She is the best.

personal life may be throwing at you.

I was about to turn 65 and have a hip replacement when my doctor suggested I see a dietitian. I worked with Sharon for 6 months before my surgery and lost 40 pounds. A few weeks after surgery I continued with our weekly sessions and am down a total of 65 pounds. I couldn’t have done it without her.
