WOULD NOT RECOMMEND- Dana is condescending and rude. She is not collaborative and was not helpful in treating my child’s eating disorder. She keeps only written medical records which are illegible and when we asked for the records she gave tried multiple times to refuse. When we stated it was the law she then tried to charge is 5.00/page. I am a medical professional and I would not trust her to treat myself or a loved one.

Stay away from Dana Egan. She does not listen to the client and gives bizarre eating advice. Our daughter was in danger of developing a binge-eating disorder, so we came to Dana for guidance. At Dana's request, we kept a meticulous record of everything our daughter ate for one week. Dana never even LOOKED at our record and instead questioned my daughter about her breakfast on a single day. From this one meal, Dana concluded that my daughter is "avoiding carbs" and told her to stop eating so many vegetables and "eat more chips." Yes, I am serious. She tried to explain to Dana that she avoids chips because once she starts eating them, she will binge the entire bag. Yet Dana repeated her advice. She said it directly to me and my husband. We were shocked. There are so many healthy carbs... why tell a kid who is in danger of developing a binge-eating disorder to eat a super unhealthy food that is literally designed to be addictive and cause bingeing??? The whole experience was surreal.
Stay away.

I have been seeing Dana for about a year. I realize that I needed more help with accountability and coaching for a long term change. I was told in the beginning that I should expect to invest in myself on the long term to expect success. I certainly hoped things would move faster, but I get out what I put in. I appreciate her non-judgmental approach and flexibility. Working with Dana is what works for me.

It's been quite some time since I visited with Dana, but after about 2 visits I never went back. I found her to be rude and condescending in her treatment of me, despite my having made several positive changes in the first week with my eating habits. People will make mistakes, and they need to be used as learning opportunities instead of a reason to attack them. I found Weight Watchers to be much more supportive and a better approach for me, and ended up losing the weight in that program.

I suffer from PCOS. If you know anything about PCOS, then you can understand my frustration. No matter what I eat my weight fluctuates dangerously. When you're considered plus size, people, including your doctors, feel you eat your weight in food. Dana is not like that. She has a great understanding of how a disorder like mine can affect someone's weight. She also understands that everyone is not meant to be a size 4. Since, meeting with Dana in the beginning of November, 2009, I have lost 18.5 lbs. She sits with you and works out an ideal meal plan that's also visual and gives you everything you need to be successful.
