“I just had my first phone call with Shelley today! She seems very sweet and listened to my situation, while making recommendations to help me.
I’m a vegan with IBS and she recommended I try a program called Optavia, as well as keep a food diary to track my eating habits. I’m looking forward to working with Shelley and trying this new program in hopes it’ll help my tricky digestive system!”

Dr. Rothbart was very nice and helpful she helped me with adjustments to my own current formulated meal plan and gave me a felling of positivity which I never received before which was nice to see. I'll be seeing her again once I complete my phase of applying my meal plan.
November 1, 2019Peter K.Verified patient
Shelley really knows her specialty. I felt very comfortable with her, as I expressed my reasons for seeking out a dietician. She was receptive and asked the right questions. With her assistance I have lost 14 lbs in only 4 weeks. She is available on email and text. Good to know I am not taking this journey alone!!!
I Highly recommend her!!!

Very nice and she cares. Very thorough.
March 25, 2019Shanaz M.Verified patient
I really liked that Shelly was super flexible in her scheduling. I arrived at her home office, and was seen right away. She made me feel comfortable and allowed me to speak my needs and wants for most of our session. Although she did want me to consider the products for Optivia, I was also given a comprehensive food plan if I wanted it. Knowing what I need and where I'm at in my current ability to maintain my weight/food control and work schedule, I think Dr. Rothbart listened and provided me with a good option. I'm excited to work with her more!

She was such a sweet lady!!.i really enjoyed my visit with her..she was very enlightening & answered all of questions & concerns..I will definitely be seeing her again..
July 21, 2018Cynthia B.Verified patient
I saw Shelley Rothbart,RD after trying on my own for a while using some apps and also buying some weight watcher meals. I was unable to get anywhere. I saw Shelley and she was clearly what I needed. She was able to understand my concern about my health issues and give me personalized advice that fit my medical needs, and help me with compliance. I recommend her without reservation. She made me feel less self-critical for not being able to 'do it' on my own... I look forward to seeing her again and to meeting my goals.
April 23, 2018Mario L.Verified patient
She is genuinely happy to see her patients make progress, but she basically just told me everything I already knew. Doesn't spend enough time giving feedback and educating you on things you should do in order to lose weight. She gave me two options- either follow the protein shake/ bar/ meal replacement regimen, or follow a natural diet. I chose to follow a natural diet. After seeing her twice, I realized that I could pretty much accomplish via an app, everything she tries to help you accomplish in person.

Shelly is an intelligent and caring professional who presented me options to eat right. I’m absolutely thrilled to work with her in the future and highly recommend her services.
December 8, 2017William M.Verified patient
I have seen a couple of doctors and nutritionists in the past. But she was exceptional. She was personable and able to really hear me instead of telling me a bunch of stuff I would never end up doing... Unfortunately I need to go back but she gave me some ideas I plan to try. She is 1st one I actually plan to follow up with, which means maybe I will finally make progress with this BP problem and not need meds...
October 3, 2017Mario L.Verified patient
Dr. Rothbart is very supportive, kind and tries to meet you wherever you are in your wellness journey. I have seen such great results in a bery short amount of time. I have made lifestyle changes that were easy and impactful because of her guidance.

Very nice lady but only interested in selling Medifast. I agreed to first 2 months but it's very pricey. Once I told her I couldn't afford it and would like to create a food plan with her she stopped responding to my emails, so I never bothered going back.
August 27, 2016Noelle R.Verified patient
I went for general nutritional information, like how to incorporate more whole foods into my diet, how to eat healthy in my busy life- but instead was pushed product. This person obviously works on commission on how many people she can make feel like they need liquid meal replacements and packaged "diet" foods. When I kept expressing my disinterest in purchasing or learning about these products, it fell on deaf ears. Do not come here.

What I liked the most about Shelley is her warm personality which put me at ease right away. She is professional, sympathetic and I felt she really understood my issues and problems. I would highly recommend her.
January 9, 2016Michael S.Verified patient
Shelley is professional and committed to help their patients. She gives great advice and positive feedback.
Highly recommended!
December 20, 2015Anna S.Verified patient
she was totally confused and messed up. Her diet plan was nothing but pieced of paper given to anybody, not at all personalized.
More than 1 year agoInitials hidden
She listened to all my concerns and right away set up a program that i can begin to work on achieving my goals. I will have a follow up visit and I'm working in improving my cholesterol numbers and also loose a couple of pounds. Very good approach and had the patience to answer all my questions and provided me with some literature that i can read and put into practice
September 20, 2015Rosa M.Verified patient
I started seeing Shelley 6 months ago and I held off on writing a review until I saw results. I've lost 25 lbs, I feel amazing and I'm happy with my results. Everything that she stated from the very beginning regarding my progress has been accurate. She has been helpful and I wish I had came to her sooner. I trust in her expertise and highly recommend her. Thank you Shelley.
September 18, 2015Chen S.Verified patient
I was very pleased that she was able to help me with a plan by restructuring how I made my meals. I loved that I'm able to continue enjoying the things that I like without having any guilt or shame.

She was very patient and attentive.
More than 1 year agoMariutia A.Verified patient
I've met with Dr Rothbart twice so far, and it's been super helpful. She's very personable and easy to talk to - the appointments just feel like we are chatting about this-and-that, but then I end up leaving loaded with useful information. She has an arsenal of specific and implementable substitutions/suggestions. Everyone knows it's important to "eat right" - the hard part is actually making it happen... and Dr Rothbart gives you the tools to make it realistic to eat healthier and have a generally better lifestyle.
