We were impressed in the way the dietitian conducted the appointment.  She was easy to talk to about our concerns.  She was practical in her approach and allayed many of the concerns that we had.  She also arranged a follow up appointment for us.

The dietitian was friendly and knowledgeable.  It has given me some good ideas.

The dietitian has helped me with my diet needs, setting goals and rearranging my meals to better suit my current lifestyle.
