Dr. Dadkhah was instrumental in turning my whole life around. In Feb. 2020 I was 6'0", 265 lbs., and diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. After working with her and changing my eating habits, I lost almost 40 lbs. in 6 months, my cholesterol was back to normal, and my Type 2 diabetes is in full remission. Today I'm down to 200 lbs., eating well, exercising, and feel like an entirely different person. I recommend her practice to anyone and everyone who asks.

For the past six months, Dr. Maryam has been a lifesaver for our family. She has pulled our teen out of an eating disorder with understanding and patience. She listed to her likes and concerns and developed a customized menu. In addition, Dr. Maryam has a talent for communicating with teens and getting them to agree to things -- unlike any other doctor I've ever observed. All the rebellion disappears as she finds a way to "get through" the teenage brain. Her knowledge, expertise, solid logic, and calming demeanor is unmatched. I highly recommend her.

Margaret D. | Dec 14, 2019

Dr. Dadkhah is patient, listens carefully, shares researched knowledge and sets goals. Due to osteopenia I've met her. We've changed my diet from paleo, low FODMAP and powders to eating everything with more fermented foods, good fats, whole grains. I'm sleeping better. Her knowledge about arthritis, exercise, etc., etc. has been tested by my inquiries. Highly recommend her!

I went to Dr. Dadkhah because I am diabetic and having a hard time losing weight. I felt really relaxed talking to her and didn't feel judged when I admitted I really like fried food. :) We made small goals which I think were pretty reasonable. My biggest issue other than being a lover of fried foods is exercise. Dr. Dadkhah gave me some suggestions of on what exercises I can do without hurting my injured back. I am definitely will continue to see her.
