Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Isn't aware of the latest research
She doesn't seem to understand the complexity of nutrition and doesn't seem informed by the latest research. She also did not personalize my program and told me what to eat before finding out about food allergies and my likes and dislikes in terms of food.

I sought MNT to assist me with weight-loss, since exercise alone was no longer cutting it as a woman in her mid 40s. Haesun is highly professional and caring. She's positive and goal-oriented and encourages her patients to be as well. I really appreciate the simplicity of her multi-faceted approach, which is focused on balanced meals, portion control, stress management, sleep, and exercise.

Haesun is the best nutritionist I have ever worked with. As a nutritionist she doesn't focus on just calories, but instead she focuses on all aspects of health including healthy eating habits, stress management, and goal setting. Since seeing Haesun I am no longer starving myself and instead I'm eating smaller amounts more often throughout the day, which makes weight loss a whole lot easier. 10/10

After 4 years of going from 415 to 200 lbs with good nutrition, weightlifting and HIIT Cardio, I felt I need professional help to fine tune my weight and body fat % goals. Dietitian Haesun Hwang is an extremely very knowledgeable professional that treat you at all times with the utmost respect and kindness! With Her help I was able to lose 3 % body fat in 2 months while increasing a little bit my calories. I was making a few mistakes and She taught me how to fixed them!

I've been to nutritionist before, but now I understand what a nutritionist is or at least how one should be! She is a very caring person and extremely knowledgeable about issues as advertised! I put the two together because that's all you need when it comes to a care giver. She explains the cause of your issue(s) and how to treat them in a very simplistic way, but still makes sure that you understand. My progress has been outstanding since working with her! May God bless Haesun Hwang!

I started seeing Haesun Hwang for Nutrition Consulting for having recently been diagnosed with diabetes. She quickly relieved my anxieties and showed me how to eat properly using the four food groups as well as an exercise regime to better manage my condition. She also showed me how to use the One Touch diabetes meter for measuring blood sugar levels and explained what the numbers represent. I feel confident that by following her nutritional advice, I will eat more healthily.

Dr Haesun gives practical approach to overall health from what you eat, to proper rest and exercise. I have lost weight by following her advice. I still eat what I want but had to adjust in keeping in mind eating protein, vegetables and fruits. Now in a rhythm and am enjoying the journey. She is patient, an excellent listener and very nice. I visited other nutrientionist who wanted to sell products and plans. She did neither. She truly cares and isn't about selling you anything but guidance.

Ms. Hwang is an EXCELLENT educator. Being a newly diagnosed diabetes patient, I have learned so much from her regarding how and what to eat, portion control, and how to live a healthy lifestyle as a diabetic. She has such a calm and soothing manner and personality. She really wants you to get it, and questions you to make sure you understand everything that she has explained and taught you during your sessions with her. She is also very detailed and patient in answering questions.

I recently had my first appointment with Haesun Hwang, who was referred to me by my PCP. I have been to a nutritionist before, but they didn't provide me with any sort of helpful advice or information. She discussed my medical history, lifestyle, and eating habits in depth with me and then was able to provide an assessment/plan that 1) Made sense 2) Would be easy for me to follow.

Haesun has been encouraging and supportive as it relates to improving my diet and looking at different factors that have an impact on what I eat and when. Her approach has been to find ways to modify my regular habits in ways that will improve my health in the long-term. I've tried just doing a ton of exercise to lose weight and basically the weight just comes back once my willpower dies down. This approach will be better for the long-term. Thanks Haesun!

I have been to Weight Watchers for years--heard it all. When hubby originally diagnosed w/diabetes, we were sent to nutritionist who offered nothing new. My ears do not comprehend/hear well persons w/accents. Imagine my surprise when I understood every word she said! She shared implementable tips and had us set achievable goals. Her schedule is flexible. I love her Del Monte plate!
