Then wait to check in with the receptionist was longer and a bit more frustrating than my actual meeting with her. she is his rally by birth which makes her tough stubborn and very sure-footed in her ways. By her and many professionals that is very good and reassuring. She gave me a proper meal plan to follow and dispel some of the myths that have been told to me including in a couple of diabetic support groups. She didn't beat around the bush. The office where she was at itself is not a real pleasure the receptionist were frustrating one wanted me to check in with the computerized at check-in stay that stood in between seats where patients sit in the waiting roomever design that program should have their head examined and was clearly politically incorrect and I lefty. In any case if you are in the Bronx or in the area she's well worth going to it was a great decision and even more surprising was the quick appointment I was able to secure and go to

More about Zipporah Oksman, CDN, MS
I have been counseling pediatric, adolescents, and adult patients in the Bronx for the past ten years and for five years at the outpatient pediatric, ob-gyn high risk, and bariatric clinic at St. Luke's - Roosevelt Hospital. I work with a team of pediatricians, pediatric endocrinologists, and community physicians that refer patients to me and most of my patients require that I speak and prepare educational materials in Spanish. I am fluent in English, Spanish, Romanian, and Hebrew. My team approach helps me provide the best care and resources to my patients.
I primarily assess patients with the following issues using the Nutrition Care Process: Lipid disorder, hypertension, pre and post bariatric surgery, kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, failure to thrive, short stature, food allergies, vitamin deficiencies, obesity, diabetes, PCOS, and difficult feeding problems. I also develop and implement educational programs and materials to help my patients overcome some of these issues.
I also coordinate with the physicians and community services in the neighborhood to help my patients achieve a healthier lifestyle.
I am a preceptor for Lehman College's nutrition program and have been a preceptor for over ten years for the nutrition program for Teacher's College at Columbia University.

The most rude and unprofessional person
Trying to rush out of the clinic because she had to go somewhere and because I was schedule through Zocdoc she came to front desk yelling she wasn’t gonna see any patients as t her scheduled was blocked for the rest of the day
Then said fine she would see me and it would be quick
Wasted my time and money
Ridiculous
The clinic also, most unprofessional staff ever
