Nutritionists near Silver Spring

“My only complaint is the high cost of this program. It keeps me accountable and ironically completely pain free (no-pain -WITH-gain!).“

“Lisa Marie’s knowledge, compassion, and healing environment make every session a truly positive experience. Referred by a friend, I feel fortunate to have found her. I’ve noticed real progress with long-standing issues and back discomfort, and even after just two treatments, I felt a noticeable difference. I look forward to each visit, knowing it brings me closer to lasting relief.“

“I started working with Arkadiy nearly 11 months ago when nothing else was working to lose weight and gain strength. Without question, I can say that the investment was totally worth it. Arkadiy quickly determined what I needed to do, and I began seeing results within a week or two. The answer was actually much less work than I thought it would be. Had I known what Arkadiy taught me long ago, I would have never had any issues staying in shape. The training is just as I wanted it: He tells me what I need to know and do, and then helps me along the way without any hype or innovations. Since Arkadiy is a former champion bodybuilder, it is good knowing that he has been to the top and is an expert in what it takes to get fit, even if, like me, your goals are nowhere close to becoming a bodybuilder. I can highly recommend anyone interested in gaining muscle or getting in shape to work with Arkadiy.“

“This gym is nothing short of amazing. I am feeling stronger, healthier, and happier after only going there for a month. I highly recommend.“

“Thank goodness I found Dr. Bradford to treat my fibromyalgia because she is not your average old school chiropractor. She stays up-to-date on the newest and most effective chiropractic tools and treatment methods available to successfully gain the best results for each individual patient.
Dr. Bradford exudes a sensitive, easy-going approach when interacting with patients and she understands how pain (chronic/acute) can limit enjoyment and disrupt daily living.“

“I have been a patient of this practice for 3 1/2 years. I think the practitioners there are educated, informed, and truly want to help people. They are caring and take the time to listen and advise you.

The weakest link for the practice is the front desk and administrative office. About 5 months after I became a patient, I tried to sign my 11 y.o. son up at the practice because he had eczema, despite dietary changes we had made at home. I registered him online and waited 2 weeks for the link to fill out his paperwork, but the link never came. When I called the office, Erin (who I think does not work there anymore) told me that she was going through the registrations and would send me a ink soon. To me, this is not good customer service, especially after I had explained that I registered my son 2 weeks ago, but I waited patiently, nonetheless. After another week passed by and still no response, I asked in person the next time during my appointment. Erin could not find my son's registration, so I used my phone while in the office to register my son again. This time, she was able to confirm receipt and sent me a link to finish my son's registration. This experience was annoying.

I noticed that sometime after this, more people were brought to work at the front desk and customer service did seem to improve somewhat until about 2 months ago. After my last appointment with Dr. Wong in September 2020, I was told to schedule my follow up in December. On October 13th I called and left a message on voice mail. My call was not returned, and on Oct. 17th, I sent an email with the subject "Second request for appointment" to the general inbox. As I am a teacher and very busy, I did not realize that nobody had responded to my inquiries until the end of October, so I called the front desk again. This time, somebody did answer the phone and I was able to schedule an appointment with Dr. Wong, but because Dr. Wong books out so far in advance, the earliest available was not Jan. 11th.

Needless to say, this last experience was very frustrating. I realize that the practice is very busy and they do spend extra time, listening to patients, which I feel, is very important. However, it is tricky for super busy people like me to have to follow up and take responsibility for calling again and again to schedule appointments. I teach during office hours and cannot always make phone calls. I would also expect that emails should be returned, as well.

I do have to say that they now have a person who deals with insurance matters and that has been extremely helpful, so that is real plus for this practice, as I have had some EOBs that needed further attention.

Overall, I give this practice 4 stars because of the weakest link in front desk/administrative matters/ customer service.

Update: 7/25/24:
My comments about this office remain unchanged. I still give it a 4/5. The office still has great practitioners, but the weakest link is the office management. The practice uses a portal and you are supposed to communicate with the practitioners via the portal. Well....if someone initiates the communication first and you respond, there is no problem. However, if you initiate the communication, there is usually no response. I sent a message TWO times asking for my appointment to be rescheduled and I received no response. Finally, I called and reached someone and was able to reschedule, but by then my practitioner was WAY booked out. This week, I sent a message with a question about a follow up to my mammogram. The automatic reply states that they will respond in 2 business days. Today makes the third business day and I have received no response. I will probably have to phone the office. It's just annoying. If they cannot reply to clients via the portal, then they should not offer it as an option.“

“Matt McLain at the Falls Church location is a colleague of mine. He is professional and considerate with colleagues and patients alike. He truly cares about improving the quality of life of his patients and helping them learn skills and tools to be successful in life, whether it be short, intensive work or ongoing therapy. Matt meets his patients where they are at and involves the family and systems they interact with (as needed) to really address the patient’s needs and concerns. He is flexible in shifting schedules and is passionate about his work, which definitely comes through in the successes of his patients. Highly recommend!“

“Cregory is a wonderful trainer. I began working with him when I was 8 weeks postpartum and he has been terrific -- always on time, motivating, and able to adapt exercises based on my needs. He has a ton of experience with women postpartum and understands how to adjust workouts accordingly (which is super important to avoid injuries) especially as a result of a c-section. He is extremely responsive and a pleasure to be around. He is results and goal oriented. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a personal trainer.“

“Dr. keita is a special, gifted Subject Matter Expert on Holistic Chiropractic Care. I have lived in NW DC for 7 years and been with her for about 5 years. She sets the bar high because she truly educates me and goes above and beyond to get to the root of the issue. In one visit she implements several modalities to address my problems holistically. Despite living in NW, I travel way across town for her because she is a wise, knowledgeable, loving, honest and believes in Knowledge Transfer which as an educated consumer I highly prioritize.“

“Where do I begin: as an athlete, I have been around other chiropractors and nutritionists.I first went to see Doc Casi a few years ago after I injured my self after a squat-rack work out. From the moment I stepped into her office, I felt like I had met a person who was really concerned with my well being and not just put me on a weekly program just to make money.As far as the nutritionist part, she has been patient with me. I am one of those patients that require a lot of attention and reminders. And, let me not get started with my test kits, ask her about the story and she will make you laugh.To sum it all up, Doc Casi is the best chiropractor and nutritionist in the entire galaxy.Thank you, Doc Casi!“

“I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Dedicated Strength working specifically with Larry three days a week. Larry was very friendly, easy-going, dependable and knowledgeable about his craft. The gym itself is clean, well-maintained, and has a lot of great equipment. The skill level of lifters ranges from expert to novice and all are clearly welcome. I was completely comfortable in each of my sessions and the gym itself was perfect for focusing on the workout.It was a very pleasant experience and Joe and his team were very professional. Personal circumstances forced me to put a pause on my training, but the team was understanding and I will be back in the future.“

“Los resultados son 100 por siento garantizados yo pude bajar 40 libras en 3 meses lo recomiendo ??“

“5-Star Review for Coach Aric

I reached out to Aric for help with a nagging issue—a winged right scapula that had been bothering me for a while. We live far apart, otherwise I'd be at his gym every day, no question. Despite the distance and not even seeing my shoulder in person, Aric listened carefully to my description and immediately knew what to do.

He sent me three exercises tailored to my issue, and on the very first day of doing them, I already felt a noticeable difference. No guesswork, no fluff—just precise, practical guidance from someone who clearly knows what they're doing.

Sometimes, the insight you need doesn’t come from a doctor—it comes from a wise coach who genuinely understands the body. Aric is that guy. Can’t recommend him enough.“

“Njeri reviewed my history from our last work together and she thoroughly asked questions which framed where I currently was with eating, proper intake, supplements, exercise, medications; And, how we’re going to move forward to detox to strengthen my body to put my MGUS in remission. I’ve done an intensive questionnaire and I’m in the process of submitting all recent tests results so that Njeri can review and develop a composite for our plan of attack. Njeri Jarvis is an exceptional nutritionist and I trust her to help me grow and heal.“

“Wil is an awesome trainer. He’s very knowledgeable, kind, and motivating. I’ve become stronger and more muscular because of him. I can’t imagine working with someone more professional and qualified. He’s highly recommended.“

“The support at this location is top notch! I was blown away at how Andreina cared about my goals and progress. She is watching and teaching and motivating you every second of the workout! Amazing leadership and support! This is very productive and quality time!“

“A friend recommended that I consult Don Diggs for accupuncture treatment of my plantar fasciitis. I was leery of starting cortisone shots with my MD, especially with the warning that tendons can become more brittle that way. With five accupuncture treatments now, I am down from a 9/10 on the pain scale to about a 1 or 2. There are days I don't feel it at all. I am really grateful for the combination of accupuncture and e-stimulation. I also appreciate Don's advice about a few exercises tostrengthen the the area.“

“Dr. Ilana Goldberg is the best doctor I have ever worked with. The care and insight she provides patients is second to none. Her communication is kind, clear and helpful. I found her ability to understand and factor in all the variables that drive health extremely unique and holistic. She takes the time to get to know you and I know she has helped me immensely.“

“Excellent chiropractor. I've been seeing Dr. Salcedo for over 10 years and she's helped me through all kinds of back issues and pain. She is very knowledgeable, professional, and experienced.“
