The Dr was very nice however I expressed how I need guidance with meal prep and what foods/ recipes would work but instead I received a response about portion size. I don’t have issues with portion control/size but I work a crazy schedule and needed help with life style changes. i.e. tool and tips/ticks for my super hectic schedule. I told her I work retail and my schedule changes frequently and I needed help with an actual plan and I received advice that I’ve gotten in the past from the internet/ personal trainers. She is a sweet doctor, just not the right fit for me.

I did not have the best experience with her, I felt she was less of an active listener and focused on end goals. Also she was quick to think about a worst case scenario which made me feel uncomfortable with facing my eating disorder. But, that may be my scenario and she may be specialized with other circumstances

Dr. Weinstock is awesome! She answer all questions and gives great advice. You leave your session feeling supported and not judged.

Very clear communication. Take my input and goals. Set me up with caloric goals as well as foods to eat and proper portioning.

Made an appointment for my teenage son who is looking to get healthier. Dr. Weinstock was friendly and informative and provided visuals to help solidify her advice. She spent a lengthy time with us and approached nutrition and weight loss from a very neutral, non-threatening position. I appreciate the emphasis on health, not weight. Hard to know if my son will stay motivated, but he's more cognizant now of his behaviors. We'll be taking it slow and checking in with Dr. Weinstock again.

I met the Dr via telehealth call and it was an amazing experience! I felt heard, understood, and she had so much additional information about my goals and issues ! I also appreciated that with the goals in mind she was able to start me off with small steps to set up long term wins and creating healthier habits. Past doctors are quick to be restrictive without always taking into account allergies etc. This was the opposite. she took EVERYTHING I said into consideration.

Dr. Weinstock is a great listener and very knowledgeable about nutrition. All of her recommendations are back up by science. I will book her again for a follow up!
