Nutritionists near Takoma Park

“Dr. Amen is a very knowledgeable, kind and caring doctor, and his staff wonderful. His knowledge and training are extensive and I trust his advice completely, but he also takes the time to serve with attentiveness and compassion, and oftentimes that's really what's needed. I recommend him highly.“

“I’ve had the privilege of training with Archie twice now, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the results. Fifteen years ago, Archie helped me achieve amazing transformations, but life, family, and career took me away from the gym for a while. When my health started to become a concern, I knew I had to get back to Archie.

In just a month and a half of training, I’ve already lost 20 pounds of body fat, gained significant strength, and built noticeable muscle. Archie’s approach to nutrition is incredibly effective—he regularly checks in and gives advice that makes the diet easy to sustain. His knowledge and attentiveness are top-notch, and he’s always there to help keep you on track.

If you're serious about transforming your body and improving your health, Archie is the trainer you need. I highly recommend shooting him a text. You wouldn't regret it.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I was very pleased with Peter and his treatment of my muscular problem. He was knowledgeable and competent with his therapeutic massage. I felt better immediately after my first session and felt even better the day after. I expect to continue with Peter in the months ahead.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Back n 2014'-15 I was 50lbs overweight. I lost 50 lbs in about 6 months! Should have joined a ?️‍♂️ during my weight loss journey. The program works!“

“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.“

“This gym got me through grad school! A quick workout that was easy to fit in with my schedule, I was able to burn off nervous energy and develop arm muscles (the biggest I've ever had)! Always loved the staff, they are friendly and also push you, but also supportive in adapting exercises or honoring when it was a win just to make it to the gym. Always a lively energy, workouts were fun. I can't say enough good things about this place and highly recommend!“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“I began my journey a year ago next month....and boy has this experience made a difference. My life has changed in some many ways.....from nutrition, to my physical and my mental. I come such a long way in my healing journey with the help and support of Aric at Evolve to Fit. This gym takes a holistic approach to working out that includes self care. The trainers actually get to know you as a person and design workouts, nutrition and even lend an ear when needed. Eric is such a personable coach. He works with you, pushes you and practices what he preaches. His well rounded knowledge of kinesiology and nutrition is both impressive and informative and he takes time to explain his suggestions and instruction. Can't forget about Mauricio, another phenomenal instructor! These guys are down to earth, funny and all around great guys. All of the classes are tough but fun and you don't need a bunch of heavy weights in the gym or at home to do a work out and FEEL the BURN (trust me) so if you cant make it to the studio, no worries. All of the members at the gym are friendly, positive and encouraging so no need to feel intimidated. You'll feel comfortable and have a great workout here and on occasion have a great cookout and/or happy hour.“

“Fredo was fabulous!! One of the best customer service! He is very friendly and greets everyone with so much enthusiasm!! Love coming to Yards because of staff memebers like Fredo!!“
