I started working with Haley prior to my bariatric surgery, which was almost 4 years ago. She has been incredible every step of the way. Even during the periods when I paused appointments, she remained accessible, supportive, and committed to my success. Her knowledge, compassion, and follow through are unmatched. I truly couldn’t ask for a better dietician. She was been instrumental in my success with weight loss and maintenance!
