Shima is kind, encouraging, reassuring, genuine and inspiring. She really helped me with my binge eating habits and figuring out a healthy eating plan that works for me. I feel empowered after meeting with her, and grateful she did not make me feel judged at all. Wish I made this appointment five years ago!

I am so happy that I found Shima through this site! I have been struggling with PCOS symptoms since I was 15, and even in our preliminary visit, she was able to provide me with some great insight on how I can begin to tailor my diet to fit my personal needs. I was thankful that she understood my hormonal imbalance and the way it affects my dietary needs. I'm actually excited for our next session! Shima was compassionate and thoughtful, and I look forward to continuing my journey with her to understand and navigate my PCOS.

The best experience with a dietitian ever! She is realistic and very helpful. With her easy to follow advice, my husband has already lost 5lbs in a week! His bloating is gone. I also feel like I have more energy and less back pain. She is amazing! Highly recommend.

Excellent dietician. Great experience
June 23, 2023Initials hidden
She couldn’t have been kinder. I have an evolving medical situation and had some questions of how to best feel good until I finish medical evaluation. She had great suggestions. I plan to keep seeing her and appreciate that she gave me immediate help without overwhelming me. I was hesitant because I was afraid a consult might venture into general nutrition, weight loss, etc. and a sudden medical issue already had me at my breaking point. I am so thankful she helped me so quickly. . Highly recommended.
June 7, 2023Anne H.Verified patientVideo visit
My experience was so wonderful! She is kind and thoughtful and understanding. She is working along side me to help me meet my personal goals by offering me tailored information to my situation.

June 28, 2022Angelita M.Verified patientVideo visit
She was really really nice. I would say that if you wanted someone who can tell you what to do and how to do it in terms of eating, she is great. But when it comes to deeper issues like eating disorders, this may not be where to go
