Patient reviews
“Being my first session I didn't know what to expect and working with Patti was such a pleasure. I felt comfortable being vulnerable. I felt as though Patti was super knowledgeable and a great listener. She insured that this process is my own and so I can share what I am willing or not willing to do. Although we ran a bit out of time (due to me chatting away) we set a realistic and doable plan until the our next session. I found the app easy to use and appreciate the fact that I am about to contact Patti through it and love that I can share my medical results to make sure our plan is catered to my needs/wants. So far all 10s!“

About Patti
Patti is a Long Island-based registered dietitian committed to helping her patients build a life-long healthy relationship with food. She became passionate about functional nutrition and lifestyle practices after overcoming and managing her endocrine disorders (such as pre-diabetes and polycystic ovarian syndrome) in addition to her 100+ lb weight loss journey through food, mindfulness, and lifestyle changes. Patti works with pediatrics and adults, focusing on chronic diseases and weight management and has extensive experience working with diabetes and other conditions in oncology, kidney disease, heart health, bariatrics, obstetrics, and behavioral health.
Approach to care
Patti uses a judgment-free approach while counseling as she understands that there can be guilt or shame associated with some eating patterns and behaviors. She wants her patients to break free from shame and stigma to empower them. Patti educates her patients to make sustainable changes, build healthier lifestyles, practice preventive care, and improve overall well-being through a realistic, non-diet, weight-neutral approach using intuitive eating principles. Patti believes that health incorporates many areas through practicing mindfulness, positivity with food, combining movement, proper sleep, and stress reduction and that every patient deserves an individualized approach to care.
Your first session with Patti
During the first session, Patti wants to establish a trusting relationship by getting to know what makes you, YOU. She will spend time getting to know your health history, lifestyle, nutrition knowledge, current and past relationship with food, what brings you to the session, and your goals. Patti will conduct a thorough nutrition assessment to help you conduct short-term and long-term goals and dive deeper into nutrition education during your sessions.
