Amanda was wonderful! She helped me lose the weight I've had problems with for years and couldn't get off previously. She is very friendly and speaks to you like a person, not a patient. She also has a way of explaining things in a way that really helps you to understand. I would definitely recommend her!
The staff at the NHCP Nutrition Clinic are always very courteous and respectful. The Dietitians / Nutritionists are very knowledgable in their field and have helped me a lot. I have been there before and seen Chris, who did not work out for me, but Amanda was wonderful! She answered all of my questions and even gave me additional helpful information that I didn't even think of. I am completely confident that she is entirely devoted to helping me achieve my health goals. She really cares about my health and making the extra effort to encourage and support me. She isn't even slightly arrogant like a lot of health care providers seem, and I'm confident she always has my best interest at heart. As soon as I walked through the door, I was immediately greeted by their secretary, Jim. They both went out of their way to make me feel special and appreciated.
